1. Preheat the oven to 340 Degree F.

2. Peel the apples and cut into thin slices.

3. Place apples slices in a large saucepan, add the spices and corn starch and mix to combine.

4. Over medium heat, let the apples stew for a few minutes until slightly softened. Stir occasionally.

5. Remove from heat and stir in half of the caramel sauce (see caramel sauce recipe)

Preparing the pie for the oven

1. Using chilled dough (see dough recipe), roll out one half to fit the bottom of the pastry dish.

2. Fill teh pastry with the apple and caramel mixture so it's mounded on top.

3. Roll out the rest of the dough and cut into 1-inch strips and use to form a lattice design.

4. Use leftover dough to make optional decorations for the pie. i.e. leaf design, apple design, etc.

5. Using a pastry brush, glaze the pie with some of the caramel sauce.

6. Bake for 35 minutes until golden brown. Check during baking to determine if pie crust should be covered with foil to prevent over browning.

7. Let the pie cool for at least one hour before serving. This helps the caramel to set and makes the pastry easier to cut.

8. Optional: serve with a dolloip of dairy-free ice cream and extra caramel sauce.  Enjoy!
