Mr. Food’S Carmel Crunch Apple Pie

Mr. Food's Carmel Crunch Apple Pie recipe image
This Caramel Crunch Apple Pie is a comforting twist on traditional apple dessert, featuring tender spiced apples bathed in a rich evaporated milk caramel sauce. The topping is the star: a crumbly, sugar-spiced pastry crust that bakes to a golden, crunchy perfection. It&# 226;ÂÂs easier than a traditional pie but delivers all the cozy, nostalgic flavors you crave. Perfect for weeknight dinners, potlucks, or anytime you need a sweet treat without the fuss of rolling out dough. The combination of tart lemon, warm cinnamon, and sweet caramel creates a balanced, indulgent experience that pairs beautifully with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 6 cup Sliced apples
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 tablespoon Flour
  • 1/2 pound Caramels (about 23)
  • 3/4 cup Evaporated milk
  • 1 package Refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425ðF (220ðC).
  2. 2
    Unroll one pie crust and press it into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively. Do not prick or bake the crust yet.
  3. 3
    In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. 4
    In a small bowl, combine the white sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. 5
    Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  6. 6
    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the caramels and evaporated milk. Stir constantly until the caramels are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  7. 7
    Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the apples in the pie crust.
  8. 8
    Take the second pie crust and cut it into strips or small pieces. Alternatively, crumble the remaining dough into a bowl.
  9. 9
    If using crumbled dough, mix it with the brown sugar. Scatter the crumb topping or crust strips evenly over the apple filling.
  10. 10
    Bake for 8-10 minutes at 425ðF (218ðC) to set the crust.
  11. 11
    Reduce oven temperature to 350ðF (175ðC) and continue baking for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  12. 12
    Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing to allow the filling to set.

Note

Apple Selection: Use a mix of firm apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor balance.

Crust Option: If you prefer a simpler topping, you can omit the second crust entirely and just sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture directly over the apples before baking.

Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven for best texture.

Caramel Tip: If the caramel sauce thickens too much while cooling, you can add a teaspoon more milk to loosen it before pouring.
