Rachael Ray: Lazy Apple Pie Recipe Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees
2. Dust a work surface with a little bit of flour
3. Use a rolling pin to roll out the puff pastry, just to smooth it a bit
4. Use a fork to poke holes in the bottom of the crust, all over, so it doesn’t rise in the oven
5. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, butter, and vanilla using a fork
6. Add 1/2 tsp salt then mix until coarse and set aside
7. Peel the apples (if desired, but not required)
8. Use a sharp knife or mandolin to slice the apples thin, 1/4-inch thick
9. Put the apples into the puff pastry in a thin layer, allowing them to overlap each other slightly
10. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the apples, then fold the excess dough over the apples
11. Put into the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges of the puff pastry are golden-brown
12. Right before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce over the pie and add a sprinkle of sea salt
