I bake a variety of pies, but this is the one my husband likes best. The gingersnap crumb crust is a tangy contrast to the sweet, lighter-than-air caramel filling. It's the perfect way to end a meal. -Ginger Hendricksen, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin

Tips:

  • For a richer caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • To prevent the pie crust from becoming soggy, pre-bake it for 10 minutes before filling it.
  • Be sure to let the caramel filling cool completely before pouring it into the pie crust. This will help to prevent the filling from curdling.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the top of the pie with a broiler. Just be sure to watch it closely so that it doesn't burn.
  • Serve the pie warm or at room temperature. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
