CARAMEL CRUNCH APPLE PIE



Caramel Crunch Apple Pie image

This is the most wonderful apple pie, and one of my family's favorites!... of coarse, if you prefer, this pie may be made with your favorite homemade pie crust, or use my recipe#66929 for this. (note: this pie is best prepared with Granny Smith apples, as these apples seem to hold up better, and not become soft and soggy when baked). Hint: my advise to you is...better prepare two of these, as they will go fast, this pie is so delicious!

Tips:

  • To ensure a flaky crust, use cold butter and ice water when making the dough. You can also chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out, to make it easier to work with.
  • If you don't have brown sugar, you can make your own by combining 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 tablespoon of molasses.
  • Caramel can be tricky to make, so it's important to use a candy thermometer to ensure that it reaches the correct temperature. If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test: drop a small amount of caramel into a glass of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it's ready.
  • When adding the chopped nuts to the caramel, be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the caramel to crystallize.
  • To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, let it cool completely before filling it.
  • For a creamier filling, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Caramel Nut Crunch Pie is a delicious and classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and crunchy topping, this pie is sure to be a hit. Caramel Nut Crunch Pie is a great way to use up leftover caramel sauce, and it's also a fun and easy dessert to make with kids.
