Caramel Apple Pie with Nuts
Ingredients
  • 1
    recipe Pastry for Single-Crust Pie (see below)
  • 1
    cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2
    cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2
    cup quick-cooking rolled oats
  • 1/2
    cup butter
  • 1/2
    cup granulated sugar
  • 3
    tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1
    teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8
    teaspoon salt
  • 6
    cups thinly sliced, peeled cooking apples
  • 1/2
    cup chopped pecans
  • 1/4
    cup caramel ice-cream topping
Directions

1. Prepare Pastry for Single-Crust Pie. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer pastry to a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful not to stretch pastry. Trim; crimp edge as desired.

2. For Crumb Topping, stir together brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and the oats. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until the topping mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.

3. In a large mixing bowl stir together the granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, the cinnamon, and salt. Add apple slices and gently toss until coated. Transfer apple mixture to the pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle Crumb Topping over apple mixture.

4. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes more or until top is golden. Remove from oven; sprinkle pie with pecans, then drizzle with caramel topping. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 8 servings.

This pie has an amazing amount of crunchy cripsy topping. I added another apple, some additional spices (cumin and alspice)and sprinkled the top with sugar and cinnamon before baking. After adding the nuts and carmel this pie looks just like a professional baker made it. A+

This pie was a big hit! I made it using ready made roll out crust. I also tweaked it a bit by eliminated the pecans. So named, "Carmel Apple Pie". I also sprinkled cinnamon sugar mixture over the top. And of course no pecan sprinkling. LOVE IT!
