Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by preparing the caramel filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
-
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it cook, without stirring, until it turns a deep amber color, about 5-7 minutes. Swirl the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking.
-
Once the caramel reaches the desired color, remove the pan from heat and carefully pour in the heavy cream. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up.
-
Stir the caramel gently until the cream is fully incorporated. Add the butter, vanilla extract, and salt, stirring until smooth and well combined.
-
Pour the caramel filling into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Allow the pie to cool slightly before transferring it to the refrigerator to set for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
-
When ready to serve, top the Caramel Pie with a dollop of whipped cream and a generous drizzle of caramel sauce.
-
Slice the pie into wedges and enjoy the sweet, indulgent flavors of this delightful dessert.
