Caramel Crunch Apple Pie
Look at this beautiful pie! It’s not just a feast for the eyes; it’s absolutely delicious. Imagine the sweet aroma of baked apples mingling with caramel that fills your kitchen. It’s simply irresistible!
Ingredients you will need:
- 6 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 package (14-1/8 ounces) pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions to make this delicious pie:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and flour until well coated.
- Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Fill it with the apple mixture and spread it evenly.
- Drizzle the caramel topping over the apples, allowing it to settle into the pie.
- Add the chopped pecans or walnuts on top of the apples for that extra crunch.
- Place the second pie crust over the filling. Cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape, and make sure to seal the edges well.
- Dot the pie with small pieces of butter for richness.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Once baked, let the pie cool slightly before serving to let the gooey caramel set. Serve warm and enjoy!
This Caramel Crunch Apple Pie is sure to become a favorite in your household. With every bite, you’ll taste the perfect blend of sweet apples, creamy caramel, and crunchy nuts. It’s undeniably delightful, whether enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or all on its own. Happy baking!
