Ingredients:

• For the Honey Caramel Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup SAVAGE BEE-CHES Pumpkin Spice Infused Honey (or your favorite honey)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons flour

• For the Filling:

  • 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

• For the Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup cold milk
  • Pinch of salt

• For the Honey Wash:

  • 3 teaspoons honey
  • 3 teaspoons water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Honey Caramel Sauce:

   • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, brown sugar, water, and flour. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens into a smooth caramel consistency.
   • Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Prepare the Apple Filling:

3.  

Toss the sliced apples in the honey caramel sauce until well coated. For softer filling, cook the apples in the sauce over low heat for about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

1. Make the Pie Crust:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine flour and a pinch of salt. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
   • Gradually add cold milk, mixing until the dough comes together.
   • Divide the dough in half. On a floured surface, roll out one half for the bottom crust and place it in a pie dish. Roll out the other half for the top crust.

2. Assemble the Pie:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Fill the pie crust with the apple mixture. Cover with the top crust, sealing the edges. For a lattice top, cut the top crust into strips and weave over the filling.
   • Combine 3 teaspoons of honey with equal parts water for the honey wash. Brush this over the top crust.

3. Bake the Pie:

   • Place the pie in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
   • Five minutes before the end of baking, remove the pie and drizzle with additional pumpkin spice honey for extra flavor.
   • Return to the oven for the final 5 minutes.

4. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving. This pie pairs wonderfully with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. And don't forget to share with good company.
