Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie

Recipe
1 pastry crust for a deep-dish pie 9-inch (homemade or store bought)
1/2 cup of sugar
3 Tbsp. all purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
1 recipe of crumb topping (found lower on the recipe)
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
1/4 cup caramel topping
In a large bowl stir together: sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt
Add apple slices and gently toss until coated. Transfer apple mixture to the pie shell. Sprinkle crumb topping over apple mixture.
Place pie on cookie sheet so the drippings don't drop into your oven. Over edges of pie with aluminium foil.
Bake in a preheated 375 oven for 25 minutes.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle pie with chopped pecans then drizzle with caramel on top. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy.
Crumb Topping
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup butter
Stir together: brown sugar, flour, and rolled oats.
Cut in 1/2 cup butter until topping is like course crumbs.
Set aside.

  • My family makes this every year for thanksgiving; it is a great way for the whole family to get together and cook. Then we give them to neighbors and family thanking them for anything that they might have done for us this year.
  • We like to have three types of apples; helps with flavoring.
  • If you have a couple of people doing everything it goes faster.
  • Heat up the caramel to make it drizzle better.
  • Snack on the extra crumb topping and apple slices coated in cinnamon and sugar.
