desserts
This recipe came from Jessica's cousin Heather. Apple pie is one of my all-time favs so I can't wait to try this.
Ingredients
- 1 pastry crust for a deep dish 9 inch pie
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 6 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (Golden delicious and fuji apples are recommended)
- 1 recipe crumb topping (below)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup caramel topping
- Crumb Topping:
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
- 1/2 cup butter
Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing the crumb topping. * Stir together brown sugar, flour and rolled oats. Cut in ½ cup butter until topping is like course crumbs. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add apple slices and gently toss until coated.
Step 3
Transfer apple mixture into the pie shell. Sprinkle crumb topping over apple mixture. Place pie on a cookie sheet to catch drippings.
Step 4
Cover edges with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 375 oven for 25 minutes, then remove foil and put back in for another 25-30 minutes w/out foil.
Step 5
Remove from oven. Sprinkle pie with chopped pecans and then drizzle with caramel on top. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy warm.
