Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie
Ingredients
  • Pastry for Single-Crust Pie (see below)
  • 1/2
    cup sugar
  • 3
    tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1
    teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8
    teaspoon salt
  • 6
    cups thinly sliced, peeled cooking apples
  • 1
    recipe Crumb Topping
  • 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. In a large mixing bowl stir together sugar, flour, 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.

3. 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 is a family favorite. They don't consider a holiday meal complete without a slice of this pie with a heap of vanilla ice cream on top.

I make this every Thanksgiving and it's always a crowd pleaser. Different from the traditional apple pie. Perfect for people with a sweet tooth. To save time I used the Pillsberry pre-made pie crusts. Just as delicious.

Love this recipe! The crunchy topping was perfect and the filling tasted great. The only thing I didn't do was add the caramel, but it was still delicious.
