Number Of Ingredients 9
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.
