📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make crust: Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in butter with two forks or a pastry blender until pieces are the size of small peas and mixture is crumbly. Drizzle in 1 1/2 cups ice-cold water, stirring just until dough starts to come together. Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead just until it comes together. Divide in half. Flatten each half into a rough rectangle (about 9 by 6 inches) and wrap with plastic wrap. Chill at least ⏱️ 2 hours or up to overnight.

Make filling: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples and cook, stirring often, until crisp-tender, 10 to ⏱️ 12 minutes. Stir in caramel sauce, brown sugar, salt, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch. Cook, stirring often, until mixture comes to a simmer and begins to thicken, 2 to ⏱️ 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Let cool.
