Time 40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 15-ounce package refrigerated pie crusts
1 teaspoon flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 or 2 large apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced, about 1 1/2 cups
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups half-and-half
3 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 to 10 pecan halves
Nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare pie crust according to package directions for unfilled one-crust pie using 9-inch pie pan. (Refrigerate remaining pie crust for later use.) Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until very light golden brown. Remove from oven. Cool completely. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
  • Combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon in a small saucepan and blend well. Add the apple slices, toss lightly to coat. Cover and cook over medium heat about 20 minutes or until apples are tender, stirring occasionally. Spoon the mixture evenly into the cooled, baked crust.
  • To make the topping, combine 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium-size saucepan; blend well. Gradually stir in half-and-half. Add margarine. Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to thicken, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in vanilla. Carfully pour topping over apple filling. Arrange pecan halves over topping. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until filling has puffed areas and crust is golden brown. Cool completely. Store in refrigerator.

I'm not a fan of pralines, but I really enjoyed this pie. The apples and cream balanced out the sweetness of the pralines perfectly.

I've made this pie several times now, and it's always a hit. I love that it's relatively easy to make, but it looks and tastes like it came from a bakery.

This pie is a bit too rich for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as good as the picture. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.

The praline sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the pie itself was very good.
