caramel apple pie: it's even more amazing than it sounds


Let's just take a minute to talk about this recipe. I don't care for apple pie, it's just not my fave. I'm not a fan of pie crust (I know, I know, I'm crazy), and apple pie usually has a lot of crust. Mister loves anything with apples and is a math nerd, so when Pi Day came around during our first year of marriage I knew I needed to be a good wife and make him some apple pie. That is when I came across this recipe from designeddecor.com. It is ah-mazing! Also, it is incredibly easy to make. It is my Pi Day go to recipe, but it is also perfect for autumn. Enough blabbing, here's the recipe.

Caramel Apple Pie

1 pie crust for a 9" pie tin
1/2 c sugar
3 Tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
6 c peeled & thinly sliced apples (I like to use Granny Smith)

Crumbly Topping
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c flour
1/2 c quick oats
1/2 c butter (softened)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Caramel syrup

Preheat oven to 375. In a large mixing bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add apple slices, and toss until coated. Transfer the apple mixture to the pie shell. Sprinkle crumbly topping over apple mixture, making sure to cover all the apples. Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to avoid overcooking it. Place a cookie sheet on the lower rack of the oven to catch drippings and bake the pie for 35 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped pecans and drizzle with caramel topping. Serve with some delicious ice cream, and enjoy!
