Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 15-ounce package refrigerated pie crusts
1 teaspoon flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 or 2 large apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced, about 1 1/2 cups
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups half-and-half
3 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 to 10 pecan halves
Nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare pie crust according to package directions for unfilled one-crust pie using 9-inch pie pan. (Refrigerate remaining pie crust for later use.) Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until very light golden brown. Remove from oven. Cool completely. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
  • Combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a small saucepan and blend well. Add the apple slices, toss lightly to coat. Cover and cook over medium heat about 20 minutes or until apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Spoon the mixture evenly into the cooled, baked crust.
  • To make the topping, combine 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium-size saucepan; blend well. Gradually stir in half-and-half. Add margarine. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to thicken, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla. Carfully pour topping over apple filling. Arrange pecan halves over topping. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until filling has puffed areas and crust is golden brown. Cool completely. Store in refrigerator.

This is the perfect pie for fall. The apples are perfectly tender and the praline topping is divine.

This pie is a little too sweet for my taste, but it's still really good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown evenly. I think I'll try baking it at a lower temperature next time.

I made this pie for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it, even the people who don't usually like apple pie.

This pie is a little time-consuming to make, but it's definitely worth the effort. The crust is flaky and buttery, the apples are tender and flavorful, and the praline topping is divine.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of pralines, but I'm so glad I did! The praline topping is actually really delicious and it pairs perfectly with the apples and cream.

This praline apple cream pie was a hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! The crust was flaky and buttery, the apples were perfectly tender, and the praline topping added a delicious crunch and sweetness. I will definitely be making this pie again!
