Ingredients

Salted Pretzel Crust

2 cups crushed pretzels finely ground
1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
1/4 cup brown sugar

Caramel Apple Filling

6 cups apples peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup caramel sauce
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour sifted
1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2 In a medium bowl, combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and brown sugar. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
3 Press the pretzel mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust. Set aside.
4 In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
5 Sprinkle the sifted flour over the apple mixture and gently toss to combine.
6 Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pretzel crust, spreading evenly.
7 Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple filling.
8 Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
9 Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
10 Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
