There's nothing quite like a homemade pie. One bite of Caramel Apple Pie with its crunchy topping and caramel drizzle will warm your heart and flood your tastebuds with the flavors and comforts of Fall.
Ingredients
Pie Crust Shell
- 1 deep dish pie shell
Pie Filling
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups apples (peeled, thinly sliced)
- 1/2 cup pecans (chopped)
- 1/3 cup caramel ice-cream topping
Crumb Topping
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
Directions
| Pie Crust Shell | |
| Prepare pie crust dough (or use store-bought). Line pie plate with pie crust dough. | |
| Pie Filling | |
| Stir flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in mixing bowl. | |
| Add apple slices to the flour mixture. Toss to coat. | |
| Nestle those sweet apple slices in the pie shell. | |
| Sprinkle crumb topping over the apple slices. | |
| Set pie on a cookie sheet to prevent juices from dripping onto the base of your oven. You'll thank me later! | |
| Cover edges of crust with foil or with a pie crust shield. | |
| Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil or pie crust shield and bake for another 25-30 minutes. | |
| Remove from oven breathing in the delectable scents of baked apples and cinnamon. Scatter chopped pecans over pie then drizzle caramel on top. | |
| Serve with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Enjoy! | |
| Crumb Topping | |
| Stir together brown sugar, flour, and rolled oats. | |
| Cut in 1/2 cup softened butter. Topping should look like coarse crumbs. | |
Tip
In my pie photo we used chopped pecans, but I would highly recommend using pecan chips instead. Larger pieces of pecan tend to overwhelm the apple flavor.
