This salted caramel pie is my go to dessert when I want something that looks impressive but doesn't require hours in the kitchen. With just an hour total from start to finish, you'll have a stunning pie that tastes like you spent all day on it. The sea salt really brings out the caramel's richness and adds a sophisticated touch that guests always ask about. Plus, the heavy cream provides calcium and fat soluble vitamins that help your body absorb nutrients. It's honestly one of the easiest pies I make, and the ingredients are simple pantry staples you probably already have at home.
