It’s over the top sweet, rich, as well as peradventure fifty-fifty complicated, but traveling hubby said it tastes absolutely incredible. I am surprised how much the tartness of the apples as well as the apple tree season come upward through. I idea it mightiness hold upward overpowered yesteryear the caramel but the apples actually dominate this pie. The photograph higher upward pretty much says it similar it is. Oh. My. Gosh. Do y'all similar caramel? Candied pecans? Cinnamon as well as apples? Yeah … that’s what I’m saying.

You’ll necessitate sweetened condensed milk, lite corn syrup, sugar, chocolate-brown sugar, butter as well as vanilla extract. Keep the carbohydrate out because we’ll utilisation it again.

You volition also necessitate ane 9-inch unbaked pie crust. Spread the toffee pudding mixture on the bottom of the pie crust.
Top amongst the apple tree mixture. I somehow ended upward amongst also much as well as should receive got removed roughly of the apples. My pie ended upward bubbling over inwards several spots. But straightaway worries – it didn’t impact the season 🙂
For the finally as well as finally pace y'all volition necessitate flour, sugar, tabular array salt as well as butter to brand the crumb topping. Mix all ingredients together amongst a pastry blender or your hands.
Spread the crumb mixture on top as well as popular inwards the oven at 400 degrees for ane hour. Be certain to identify a foil covered pan nether the pie to grab whatever drips.
