Instructions
Make the caramel
Prepare the Homemade Caramel Sauce according to the instructions. Set aside to cool.
Make the pie crust
Prepare the Homemade Pie Crust according to the instructions in steps 1-4.
Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and heat the oven to 375°F.
Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Press it into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Fold the edges under and flute as desired.
Make the filling
In a large bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice. Add the flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly coat the apples. Spoon the mixture over the prepared crust. Drizzle with ¼ cup of the caramel sauce.
Make the streusel topping
In a medium bowl, stir together the oats, flour, and brown sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in the chopped pecans. Sprinkle evenly over apple filling.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Tent loosely with foil if the crust and topping begin to get too brown. Drizzle warm pie with remaining ¼ cup caramel sauce and allow it to cool to room temperature before serving. The pie will keep for up to 5 days covered tightly and stored in the refrigerator.
