French native here. If I may offer some advice and tips, this is too much work, you can cut in half the work and time by starting the butter and caramel directly in a (preferably) Pyrex pie dish or ceramic dish with those wavy thick rims? This is important to the "flower" look of the pie and also safer once you flip it so you don't burn yourself or splash some caramel out, wavy rim will help big time and it looks beautiful. So start your butter and caramel directly on the stove, once ready add the apples, add dough on top, then into stove. Make sure to perk up the dough as high as possible along the waved rim, the outer wave rim needs to be thick, quite thick as I explained earlier.<br>Also it is best to use harder apples so they not only sustain the heat but don't get too mushy with the caramel and the dough on top, think Grammy smith apples (as someone rightly so mentioned in a comment here).<br>Oh, one more thing, poke the dough at the bottom instead of making slits, so the caramel doesn't out too much, you do not want it to perk up on top of the dough.<br>If some want to try a vegan version, I had great success using coconut oil instead of butter.<br>I think that's it for me.<br>Bon appétit and Happy New Year!

I just made this. I used granny smith apples and it turned out incredible.

Here in Minnesota, I consider locally grown Haralson to be the ultimate baking apple. I recently made an apple crisp with them.

I just had this as a guest at a Thanksgiving dinner, and it was fabulous; the hostess told us this was the recipe.

I do it like that but I scrape a vanilla bean into the caramel and put the whole bean in the skillet under the apples.
