– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 4 tablespoons heavy cream
– 4 tablespoons butter
– Β½ cup all-purpose flour for the crumble topping
– 3 tablespoons granulated sugar for the crumble topping
– 1 tablespoon butter for the crumble topping

Instructions
1-Gathering and Prepping Ingredients: First, preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and prepare your apples by peeling, coring, and slicing about 6 medium ones. Have your sugars, spices, and toffee sauce measured out, and let store-bought crusts warm up as needed. For variations, swap in vegan butter or gluten-free options to fit your needs.
2-Making the Filling: Next, create the toffee-caramel mixture by melting butter and brown sugar together, then add toffee and vanilla. In another bowl, toss your sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt, then mix in part of the caramel. This step ensures the apples soak up those flavors without becoming too watery.
3-Assembling the Pie: Line your pie dish with the bottom crust and add the apple filling, then top with the second crust or a crumble. Seal the edges, vent the top, and brush with egg wash for a nice shine. For a Toffee Crumble Caramel Apple Pie, sprinkle the toffee crumble evenly over the apples before baking.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch drips and bake for 45 55 minutes until golden. Check for doneness by ensuring the filling bubbles and apples are tender. Let it the pie cool for at least 2 hours to set, then serve with ice cream for the ultimate treat. our guide to making flaky pie crust can help if you’re new to dough.
