½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ (7 ounce) package almond paste
3 tablespoons apricot jam

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 tablespoon caramel sauce
1/4 cup candied nuts, chopped
One 17-ounce jar apple butter
3/4 cup caramel sauce
1 tablespoon apple pie spice

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the milk, pudding mix and 2/3 cup of the Caramel Apple Flavor Bomb. Whisk until well blended and the mixture starts to thicken. Pour into the crust and let set, refrigerated, for 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or blender to quickly and easily combine the crust ingredients. This will save you time and effort, and will also help to ensure that the crust is evenly mixed.
  • If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also mix the crust ingredients by hand. Just be sure to mix them until they are evenly combined and there are no dry spots.
  • Be sure to preheat your oven before baking the pie. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious and creamy touch to the pie.
