I love making pies, but I was never really a big fan of the apple pie taste. On the other hand, my father loves apple pie served with vanilla ice cream. I started making this Dutch Caramel Apple Pie recipe and it *might* be considered life changing. It’s easy enough for beginner bakers and delicious with the pecan crunch. It’s even sold me on the taste of apple pie – I guess I just needed that added caramel flavor!

What To Serve With Your Caramel Apple Pie
I make our annual Caramel Apple Pie every fall. We take a family trip up to the North Georgia apple orchards and buy our apples from R&A Orchards. I’ll bring home a big bushel of Granny Smith Apples and bake away. This Caramel Apple Pie recipe is amazing with a bowl of vanilla ice cream. I like a true vanilla bean ice cream too. The pie acts like an amazing decadent topping.
The pie is also great with a cold glass of milk or cup of coffee. You really can’t go wrong with this classic fall flavor. I’ve even made it as a Thanksgiving dessert option – everyone loves it.
How To Make This Caramel Apple Pie Recipe
Preheat oven to 350º. Thaw your refrigerated store-bought pie crust and roll out onto your 9″ pie plate – crimp or fold the edges.
Add caramel topping to the top of the pie crust and spread evenly. Set aside.
Clean your apples and use an apple peel to slice them evenly while peeling.
In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice and vanilla.
Combine pecans, sugars, cinnamon and corn starch. Add it into the apples and toss together.
Add the apple mixture into the pie shell – it will be filled above the top of the pie plate. Pour melted butter over the top.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, pecans and sugar.
Cut cold butter into the mixture, using a pastry cutter. It’ll resemble course sprinkles.
Add the topping to the top of the pie. You want to carefully pat it into place, so the whole pie is covered.
Bake for 55-65 minutes. Filling should be bubbly and top should be browned. Immediately drizzle with caramel topping. Cool on a wire rack.
