This pie needs to be a part of your life. You can thank me later.
Caramel Apple Pie
{from the Pioneer Woman}
Ingredients:
1 Ready-Made Pie Crust
7 Granny Smith Apples, Peeled and Sliced
1/4 Cup Lemon Juice
1/2 Cup Sugar
4 Tablespoons Flour
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup Flour
1 1/2 Sticks Butter
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Quick Oats
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/2 Cup Pecans, Chopped
1/2 Jar Caramel Sauce
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375. In a bowl mix peeled apples, lemon juice, sugar, flour and salt. Set aside.
2. For crumb topping, cut the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter. Add in brown sugar, oats, and salt.
3. Add apples to prepared pie shell and top with crumb topping. Cover crust edges with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil from crust and place back into the oven for another 30 minutes.
4. Chop pecans, and when five minutes remain, sprinkle them over the pie.
5. Remove the pie from the oven and pour caramel topping over the top.
I always listen to the Young Victoria soundtrack while baking. It's calming. Plus, when your husband comes home from his night class he will want to waltz with you in the kitchen.
