CRUNCHY CARAMEL APPLE PIE
Steps:
- 1. Prepare Pastry for Single-Crust Pie. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer pastry to a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful not to stretch pastry. Trim; crimp edge as desired. 2. For Crumb Topping, stir together brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and the oats. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until the topping mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside. 3. In a large mixing bowl stir together the granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, the cinnamon, and salt. Add apple slices and gently toss until coated. Transfer apple mixture to the pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle Crumb Topping over apple mixture. 4. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes more or until top is golden. Remove from oven; sprinkle pie with pecans, then drizzle with caramel topping. Cool on a wire rack. Makes 8 servings.
CRUNCHY CARAMEL APPLE PIE
On a Christmas Morning a few years back, our doorbell rang. It was a good friend that had worked with my husband, played racquetball with him. In his hands was a pie. Turns out that the pie was a prize winner for a lady in 2001.This is the recipe for the pie that Jim brought to us straight from the oven... Glory, what it does...

Steps:
- 1. Directions for crumb topping: Stir together brown sugar, flour, oats. Cut in 1/2 c butter until topping is coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- 2. Directions: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add apple slices and gently toss until coated. Transfer apple mixture to the pie shell.
- 3. Sprinkle crumb topping over apple mixture. Place pie on a cookie sheet so drippings don't drop into your oven. Cover edges with aluminum foil to prevent burnt edges.
- 4. Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 25-30 minutes.
- 5. Remove from oven. Sprinkle pie with chopped pecans and drizzle caramel on top. Cool on a wire rack for as long as you like (or as long as you can resist temptation...) Enjoy warm or at room temp.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Apples: Use a variety of apples with different textures and flavors, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture.
- Make Sure Your Pastry is Cold: Cold pastry is less likely to stick to your hands and will be easier to work with. If your pastry is too warm, it will be more difficult to roll out and will be more likely to tear.
- Don't Overwork the Pastry: Overworking the pastry will make it tough. Work the pastry just enough to bring it together, then stop.
- Chill the Pie Before Baking: Chilling the pie before baking will help the pastry to set and will prevent the pie from bubbling over.
- Use an Egg Wash: Brushing the pie crust with an egg wash before baking will give it a golden brown color and a shiny finish.
- Bake the Pie Until the Crust is Golden Brown: The pie is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Conclusion:
This Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie is the perfect fall dessert. It's easy to make, and it's always a hit with family and friends.
