The Apple Pie Recipe From Lauren Conrad's Wedding
The talented Lauren Conrad and her husband William Tell had some special dessert for their wedding guests recently.
Lauren and two friends assembled and froze 50 apple pies a few weeks before the big day!
Do you want to know what the great news is? You can now make the very same pie for your wedding guests too!
Lauren shared the recipe for the apple pie and the caramel sauce to serve alongside it.
Here is the recipe from Lauren Conrad’s blog:
This recipe makes 1 pie.
Ingredients:
8 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 Tbsp cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp flour
¼ cup caramel sauce (recipe below)
1 recipe pie crust , divided into two pieces and refrigerated for at least 1 hour
egg wash (1 egg mixed with 1 Tbsp water)
sanding sugar
Caramel sauce:
½ cup butter
3 Tbsp flour
¼ cup water
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
Melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour to form a paste. Add water and sugar, and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer for about 10 minutes. (You want the sugars to be melted in and not grainy anymore.) Note: you don’t want to turn this into a dark caramel sauce—just a good sugar/butter mixture that caramelizes once baked.
Instructions:
Mix apples, sugars, flour, and cinnamon all together in a bowl.
Roll out your pie dough circles and add one into a pie pan. Add the apple mixture into the pan and drizzle caramel sauce over apples. Cover with another crust and flute the edges. Cut vents in top, or use cut cookie cutters to cut out shapes in the tops of pies. (I do this before adding to the top of the pie.)
Brush top of pie with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake pie in a 425-degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350, and bake for an additional 35 to 45 minutes, until top is golden and the juices are bubbling.
Making apple pie is a lot easier than you might think! Depending on the occasion, I also love to prepare the crust in different shapes and cutouts.
