Mile-High Caramel Apple Pie image

Four pounds of apples go into this towering pie -- but you don't have to peel a single one. Just slice the fruit and pile it up. Warm caramel sauce drizzled on top provides extra sweetness.

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 lbs cooking apples, such as Fuji (about 12 cups) or 4 lbs granny smith apples, cored and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices (about 12 cups)
1 unbaked double pie crust (your favorite)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
1 (12 ounce) jar caramel ice cream topping (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F.

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just because I used Granny Smith apples. Next time I'll try using a sweeter variety of apple.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This pie was a disaster! The caramel sauce was too runny and the apples were mushy. I ended up throwing it away.

This caramel apple pie was a huge hit at our Thanksgiving dinner! The filling was perfectly gooey and sweet, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I'll definitely be making this again for Christmas.
