CARAMEL CRUNCH APPLE PIE



Caramel Crunch Apple Pie image

This is the most wonderful apple pie, and one of my family's favorites!... of coarse, if you prefer, this pie may be made with your favorite homemade pie crust, or use my recipe#66929 for this. (note: this pie is best prepared with Granny Smith apples, as these apples seem to hold up better, and not become soft and soggy when baked). Hint: my advise to you is...better prepare two of these, as they will go fast, this pie is so delicious!

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
6 tablespoons ice cold water
2/3 cup crushed cinnamon graham crackers
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/3 cup butter
6 to 8 apples, peeled and sliced, about 5 cups
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup Caramel Butterscotch Ice Cream Topping
1/3 cup pecans, processed very fine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Crust:
  • Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles course ground cornmeal. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time. Roll out 2/3 of dough for bottom crust and place into pie pan. Roll out last 1/3 of dough and cut into strips for lattice top crust. On parchment paper or cookie sheet, weave the strips to form lattice. Set aside.
  • For topping: mix cracker crumbs, brown sugar and flour. Cut in butter until crumbly. Set aside.
  • For filling: combine apples, lemon juice, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Spoon apple filling into crust.
  • Sprinkle cracker topping over apples.
  • Slide lattice crust over top of pie. Fold edges of bottom crust over ends of lattice crust, pressing to seal. Brush lattice strips with egg wash.
  • Fold foil strips around edges of crust and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes or until apples are bubbling and crust is browned. While still hot, drizzle pie with Caramel Butterscotch Ice Cream Topping. Cool the pie before serving. Top with Caramel Pecan Cream Sauce.
  • Pour whipping cream into a deep bowl. With electric mixer, whip the cream on high, adding sugar a little at a time. When the cream is whipped, continue to beat on medium, while you add the caramel. Fold in pecans. (The cream will reduce a bit, giving you a smooth, creamy sauce to pour over the pie.)

Categories     Pies

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 19

PIE CRUST
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c oil
5 Tbsp milk
FILLING
3 pounds medium apples, mcintosh
1 tsp cinnamon
TOPPING
1 1/2 c quick cooking oats
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c brown sugar, lightly packed
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c + 2 tblps. melted butter
CARAMEL DRIZZLE
7 oz caramels
1/4 c milk
1/2 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Pie Crust: Place all ingredients in a 9 inch pie plate, mix well with hands. Spread out in pie plate.
  • 2. Filling: peel and slice apples in to a large bowl Sprinkle 1 teaspoon cinnamon over apple slices and lightly toss. Pour in to your crust.
  • 3. Topping: Mix all ingredients in a bowl until well blended. Heap over top of apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes depending on your oven. Topping will be golden brown and apples will be soft but not mushy. Cool for 30 minutes.
  • 4. Caramel Drizzle: After pie has cooled for 30 minutes, melt caramels and milk in microwave safe dish, microwave until smooth, keep a close eye on this so you do not over cook, I use 15 second increments, drizzle about half over top of pie, sprinkle with chopped pecans, lightly drizzle remaining caramel over nuts. You can garnish with whole pecans if you like.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and core the apples thinly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcook the apples. They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Make sure the cinnamon caramel sauce is thick enough. It should be able to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set and the crust become flaky.

Conclusion:

This Cinnamon Caramel Crunch Apple Pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of sweet apples, cinnamon caramel sauce, and crunchy streusel topping is irresistible. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this Cinnamon Caramel Crunch Apple Pie a try.
