Time 3h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup cold shortening
6 tablespoons ice water, or as needed
½ cup unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup white sugar
½ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg
⅓ cup butter
½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
8 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Whisk 2 1/2 cups flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with 2 knives or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until flour mixture is moistened and dough comes together. Do not add more water than you need. Divide the dough in half and shape into 2 balls. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9-inch pie pan with wax paper.

Stir in 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup water, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until filling mixture is thickened slightly, about 3 minutes.
  • Melt 1/3 cup butter in a separate saucepan over low heat. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar and whisk until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in pecans.

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
6 tablespoons ice cold water
2/3 cup crushed cinnamon graham crackers
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/3 cup butter
6 to 8 apples, peeled and sliced, about 5 cups

1 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup Caramel Butterscotch Ice Cream Topping
1/3 cup pecans, processed very fine

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Crust:
  • Mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles course ground cornmeal. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time. Roll out 2/3 of dough for bottom crust and place into pie pan. Roll out last 1/3 of dough and cut into strips for lattice top crust. On parchment paper or cookie sheet, weave the strips to form lattice. Set aside.

Topping
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon whipping cream
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • For crust:
  • Combine flour, sugar and salt in processor. Add butter and blend using on/off turns until mixture resembles coarse meal. Beat water, egg yolk and vanilla together in small bowl. Add egg mixture to processor and process until large moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Fold edges under and crimp to form high fluted edge. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Line crust with foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 20 minutes.

Gradually whisk half and half and egg yolks into sugar mixture. Cook over medium-high heat until custard is thick and smooth and begins to boil, whisking constantly, about 3 minutes. Quickly add 1 1/4 cups custard to chocolate. Stir until chocolate melts and mixture is smooth. Add brandy and gelatin mixture to remaining hot custard. Stir until gelatin dissolves. Spread chocolate filling in crust. Spread brandy filling over. Refrigerate uncovered until pie is completely cool.
  • For topping:
  • Heat sugar and water in heavy small saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil, without stirring, until mixture is deep amber, brushing down sugar crystals from sides of pan with wet pastry brush, about 11 minutes. Remove from heat and add cream (mixture will bubble up). Add butter and stir until smooth. Stir over low heat until color deepens and caramel thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Mix in pecans. Transfer to small bowl. Refrigerate until cool but not set, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
  • Spoon topping over brandy layer. Chill pie until topping is set, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (9 inch) pie crusts, baked
1 (8oz) package flaked coconut
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 (8oz) package of cream cheese
1 (14oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
1 (12oz) container of frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (12oz) jar caramel ice cream topping
GANACHE COATING
9 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 2. Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat.

When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth.
  • 3. Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring into pie crust. Start at the center of the crust and work outward.
  • 4. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add condensed milk and mix until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread 1/4 of cream cheese mixture into each pastry shell. Sprinkle 1/4 of coconut mixture over each pie. Drizzle 1/2 of caramel topping over each coconut layer. Follow with remaining cream cheese mixture, then remaining coconut mixture.
  • 5. Pies may be served chilled or frozen.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
  • If you don't have a pie crust, you can use a pre-made one from the store.
  • To prevent the pecans from burning, toast them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check if the caramel is done. Drop a small amount of caramel into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, the caramel is ready.
  • Be careful when handling the hot caramel. It can cause severe burns.
