  3. Toss sliced apples with lemon juice; coat with sugar-flour mixture and cook until tender.
  4. Assemble the pie by layering apple filling in the bottom crust and drizzling with caramel.
  5. Roll out the top crust; place it over the filling and seal edges. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
