Caramel Apple Pie
I saw a show on the Food Network where they were talking about a caramel apple pie and it put me in the mood. I immediately went out looking for a recipe and found this one. Let me tell you, there is no need to look further. This was THE FIRST pie I ever baked and it is absolutely delicious. It didn't even last a week. I am sorely tempted to make another.
One thing to note. The recipe tells you to refrigerate all ingredients for the crust. Michelle told me she never did this and never has a problem so I skipped the step. Don't. My crust came out so soft it would have been impossible to roll so we simply pressed it into place in the pie dish. It still came out great, flaky, tender, buttery, but if I do make this again I will make sure I follow that recommended step.
This entire pie was incredible, The crust was flaky, tender, buttery, as I said above. The filling had just the right combination of spices and formed a great caramel to coat and mix with the apples. the streusel was delicious. I used plain toffee bits and it added another interesting flavor to the mix that blended perfectly with the rest of the pie.
Seriously. Just make this. Make two and send me one as thanks for the recommendation, ok?
