While traditional wedding cakes are delicious, I knew that I was going to go a different route for my own big day. Apple pie is my very favorite dessert to bake and to eat, and I just couldn’t imagine serving our guests anything else. So, a few weeks before my wedding, my dear friends Lauren Lowstan and Hannah Skvarla helped me to assemble and freeze over 50 apple pies (talk about good friends!). Lauren is a professional baker, so she shared her commercial kitchen, freezers, and expertise with us. We were able to use my own apple pie recipe, and then on the day of the wedding all Lauren had to do was pop them into the oven and they were ready to go! I am pleased to say that everyone loved them, and they gave our wedding day such a lovely personal touch.
Over the years, I have worked on perfecting my apple pie recipe and today I want to share the finished product with you. Here’s how you can recreate the apple pie that my guests and I enjoyed on my wedding day…

Ingredients:
Caramel sauce
Melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour to form a paste. Add water and sugar, and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer for about 10 minutes. (You want the sugars to be melted in and not grainy anymore.) Note: you don’t want to turn this into a dark caramel sauce—just a good sugar/butter mixture that caramelizes once baked.
Instructions:
Making apple pie is a lot easier than you might think! Depending on the occasion, I also love to prepare the crust in different shapes and cutouts.
