All-purpose flour, for work surface
1/2 recipe Pate Brisee
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups creme fraiche
3 cups walnut halves, lightly toasted and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Brush off excess flour; fit dough into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim to a 1/2-inch overhang. Tuck dough under, forming a rim; crimp as desired. Chill 30 minutes.

WALNUT CARAMEL APPLE PIE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Walnut Caramel Apple Pie Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by dkanon

Number Of Ingredients 9

Icing:
1 package Rhodes AnyTime!™ Cinnamon Rolls
1/2 cup chopped California walnuts
2 small Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into small pieces
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 packet cream cheese frosting (included with package)
4 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping

Steps:

  • This recipe combines the wonderful tastes of the autumn season. Combine apple, sugar, cracker crumbs, California walnuts and cinnamon. Sprinkle over rolls. Bake at 350°F 25-30 minutes. Combine cream cheese frosting and caramel sauce and drizzle over pie while still warm.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening, and work the dough as little as possible.
  • When rolling out the dough, keep it cold by working on a floured surface and using a lightly floured rolling pin.
  • If the dough becomes too warm and sticky, chill it for a few minutes before continuing.
  • To prevent the crust from shrinking during baking, trim the edges evenly and prick the bottom with a fork.
  • Bake the pie crust at a high temperature (425°F) for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F for the remaining baking time.
  • To make sure the caramel filling is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, the pie is done.
  • For a gooey caramel filling, use a mixture of light corn syrup, brown sugar, and butter.
  • To add a nutty flavor to the pie, toast the walnuts in a preheated oven before adding them to the filling.
  • If you don't have any walnuts on hand, you can substitute pecans or almonds.
  • Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
