3-4 large granny smith apples peeled and thinly sliced
6 Tablespoons butter
½ cup brown sugar
¼ C water
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
1 Cup All Purpose Flour
1 Cup Brown Sugar
¼ Cup butter
1 Prepared 9 inch pie crust-- I love my no-fail recipe https://heatherlikesfood.com/secret-ingredient-no-fail-pie-crust/

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place sliced apples in prepared pie crust.
In a small saucepan, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, salt, and first portion of flour and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute and remove from the heat. Set aside.
Using a stand mixer make the crumb topping by mixing the second portion of flour, brown sugar and softened butter until it resembles coarse sand-- about 3-4 minutes.
Pour the caramel mixture over the apples in the pie crust. Use your hands to form the crumb mixture into small clumps and place on top of apples ( it will seem like a lot of crumbs, but use them all).
Very loosely place a piece of foil on top of the crumbs, place pie on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees.
Remove foil from the top of the pie and lower temperature to 350. Bake an additional 35-40 minutes. Check the pie during the last 20 minutes of baking to see if the crust is getting too dark. If so, wrap foil around the edges of the pie and continue to bake.Pie is done when
Pie is done when crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
Top the finished pie with jarred caramel sauce if desired.
