Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Chef John's Caramel Apple Pie Recipe). To me, this is the purest and most intensely flavored apple pie recipe there is. The interesting thing about this recipe is the way the caramel sauce is poured over the apples and the lattice crust. You know how with a traditional apple pie some of the apple juices will caramelize as it bakes and bubble out of the pie and bake into and onto the flaky crust? That's how this whole pie is.
