Step 1
In a large bowl, cut the butter into the flour and salt.
Step 2
Cut in until you have pebbles-sized pieces.
Step 3
Add in the water a little at a time until it's combined. You may need to add additional cold water to make the dough the correct consistency.
Step 4
Divide the dough into two even balls of dough. Be sure to add some flour to your counter beforehand, so it doesn't stick.
Step 5
Flour a sheet of parchment paper on a work surface.
Step 6
Roll the pastry dough out to about 1/4" thick.
Step 7
Repeat with the other ball of dough.
Step 8
Cover the dough and chill.
Step 9
In a large bowl, combine the apples with the sugar, cornstarch, apple juice, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Step 10
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
Step 11
Once melted, add in the apple mixture and cook, stirring regularly, for about 8 - 10 minutes, or until the apples have softened.
Step 12
Remove from heat.
Step 13
Stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside.
Step 14
Once the dough has chilled, remove one tray from the fridge.
Step 15
Cut the dough into circles using a 3-inch cookie cutter.
Step 16
Transfer the dough circles to baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing each about two inches apart.
Step 17
Remove the second tray from the fridge.
Step 18
Cut the dough into thin strips that are about 4 inches long. You will need 6 strips per pie.
Step 19
Once you have your circles and lattice cut, preheat the oven to 375F.
Step 20
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of caramel onto the center of each of the circles. Covering about the size of a quarter in the middle.
Step 21
Add 1 ½ tablespoons of the apple mixture on top of the caramel and in the center.
Step 22
Arrange the lattice tops over each disk by placing three strips horizontally with a small space in between each strip.
Step 23
Add three strips vertically over the horizontal strips, pressing the edges a little bit so they stick to the bottom dough.
Step 24
To make the egg wash, beat the egg with the water in a small bowl.
Step 25
Brush each lattice with egg wash.
Step 26
Mix your sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle on top of each of the pies.
Step 27
Bake for about 25 - 30 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
Step 28
Remove from the oven and serve warm.
