Caramel Apple Pie
I baked this today, and will be putting it in the freezer to enjoy when my fiance gets home. Boy, did it smell wonderful while baking!
1 pastry crust for a 9" deep dish pie (I used store-bought)
1/2 cup sugar
3 T flour
1 t ground cinnamon
1/8 t salt
6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples (I used McIntosh)
1 recipe crumb topping (see below)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup caramel topping
Crumb Topping
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup quick cook oats
1/2 cup butter
In a medium bowl stir together brown sugar, flour, rolled oats. Cut in 1/2 cup butter til topping is like course crumbs. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add apple slices and gently toss til coated. Transfer apple mixture to the pie. Sprinkle crumb topping over apple mixture. Place pie on a cookie sheet so the drippings don't drop into your oven. Cover edges of pie with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and put back in for another 30 minutes without foil.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle pie with chopped pecans then drizzle with caramel on top.
Cool on a wire rack and serve warm or at room temperature.
Your fiance is a lucky guy! I love the combination of the carmel & pecan on the crumb topping!
