The South is known for apple pies, but this one is not your typical apple pie! The filling includes red-hot candies, and instead of a regular double crust, you simply crumble a frozen pastry shell and sprinkle it over the top. You can peel the apples if you wish or leave them unpeeled.

Copied this recipe from an old church cookbook. Mrs. Doris Pennington submitted the recipe. Very delicious.

Provided by Bryson Hatfield

Categories     Pies

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 c baking apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2 Tbsp lime juice
3/4 c sugar
1/4 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1 double crust pie pastry (9 inch)
2 Tbsp butter or margarine
TOPPING
1/4 c butter or margarine
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
2 Tbsp heavy cream
1/2 c pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, toss apples with lime juice. Combine dry ingredients; add to the apples and toss lightly. Place bottom pastry in a 9 inch pie plate; fill with apple mixture. Dot with butter. Cover with top crust. Flute edges high; cut steam vent. Bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes; or until golden brown and apples are tender.
  • 2. Meanwhile, for topping, melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in brown sugar and cream; bring to boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in pecans. Pour over top crust. Return to oven for 3-4 minutes or until bubbly. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a variety of apples that hold their shape well when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Use a combination of spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are classic apple pie spices, but you can also add other spices like cardamom, cloves, or allspice.
  • Don't overcook the filling: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a flaky pie crust: This will help create a crispy, golden-brown crust.
  • Brush the crust with milk or egg wash: This will help it brown evenly.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature: This will help create a crispy crust and prevent the filling from becoming runny.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: This will help the filling set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Candy apple pie is a classic fall dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tart filling, flaky crust, and beautiful appearance, it's sure to be a hit with everyone.
