For an extra flaky crust, ensure all ingredients are cold before starting. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
02
StepPreheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9-inch pie plate with parchment paper. Place a baking sheet lined with foil on the lower rack of the oven. (10 minutes)
03
StepMake the Caramel Sauce: Melt ½ cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons flour to form a smooth paste. Stir in white sugar, ½ cup brown sugar, water, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened. (5 minutes)
04
StepCraft the Pecan Base: In a separate saucepan, melt ⅓ cup butter over low heat. Add ½ cup brown sugar and whisk until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans and spread the mixture evenly into the parchment-lined pie plate. (5 minutes)
05
StepAssemble the Pie: Roll out one disk of dough and gently place it over the pecan mixture in the pie plate. Toss the sliced apples with the prepared caramel sauce. Pour the apple mixture into the pie plate. Roll out the second disk of dough and place it over the apple filling. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. (20 minutes)
06
StepBake to Perfection: Place the pie on the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. (60 minutes)
07
StepCool and Invert: Remove pie from oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Place serving plate over pie; carefully invert. Gently peel off parchment paper. Cool for at least 1 hour before serving. (70 minutes)
