Instructions

1. Position an oven rack in the bottom 1/3 of the oven, and preheat the oven to 400°F.

For the filling

1. Peel and core the apples.
2. Cut the apples into 1/8-1/4-inch-thick slices.
3. Transfer the slices to the large bowl.
4. Sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon, and cornstarch over the apples.
5. Using the wooden spoon, gently stir the fruit until it is evenly coated with the sugar mixture.

Assemble the pie

1. Remove the rolled-out pie dough from the box and lay it on a cookie sheet. Spoon the apple filling onto the circle, piling apples on each other if necessary. Leave a 1-2-inch-wide border uncovered around the edge of the dough.
2. Fold the border up and over the filling, gathering the dough into pleats so it fits snugly around the fruit .The center of the pie will be open.

Finish and bake the pie

1. Brush the pleated dough edges with egg wash, then sprinkle them with the sugar.
2. Bake for 40 minutes, until the crust is a deep golden brown and the fruit is juicy and bubbling.
3. Once the pie is finished baking, use a metal spatula to lift the pie slightly and transfer to a serving dish.
4. Serve warm with a big scoop of ice cream and drizzled with caramel sauce.
