Ingredients
Pie ingredients
- 1 Pie Crust Homemake or store-bought
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 3 Tbsp All-purpose flour
- 1 Tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1/8 Tsp Salt
- 6 Cups Thinly sliced peel apples I like to use fuji or golden delicious
- 1 Recipe - Crumb Topping
- 1/2 Cup Chopped pecans Optional
- 1/4 Cup Carmel 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 I use the salted butter
Instructions
Crumb Topping
- Stir together brown sugar, flour and rolled oats
- Cut the butter in until the topping is like course crumbs, set aside
Pie
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt
- Add apple slices and gently toss until coated
- Transfer apple mixture to pie shell
- Sprinkle crumb topping over apple mixture
- Place pie on a foil lined cookie sheet (it usually bubbles over) to prevent drippings in the oven
- Cover edges of pie with aluminum foil
- Bake in a preheated oven 375 degrees for about 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and put back in the oven for another 25 to 30 minutes
- Remove from oven. Sprinkle pecans over the top then drizzle the caramel all over
- Cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
Notes
I like to cook the pie shell in the oven prior to mixing the ingredients for the pit. I line the pie shell with parchment paper then weigh it down with dried beans. I cook it at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes then remove the parchment paper and beans. If the bottom does not look very cooked I put it back in the oven for about 5 minutes.
This prevents the crust from getting mushy as the pie sits.
