Is it too late to give my Carmel Apple Pecan Pie recipe. It's delicious!
Carmel Apple Pecan Pie
1 Single Crust Pie shell - unbaked
6 Cups Thinly sliced apples
3/4 Cup Sugar
1/4 Cup Flour
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 TBLS. Butter
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 tsp. All spice
1/ 2 to 3/4 Cup Chopped Pecans, Walnuts, Almonds OR Macadamia Nuts
1/3 Cup Carmel Ice Cream Topping
Oven: 425 degrees for first 15 minutes cooking time then you will reduce oven to 350 degrees.
Combine apples, sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon and Allspice. Mix everything together so each apple slice has sugar/flour mixture covering it. Set aside while preparing the pie crust.
PIE CRUST: (Makes 2 Dble Crust Pies & Pie Shell or 48 tiny tarts)
5 Cups Flour
2 1/ 2 Cup. Shortening (I like butter flavor Crisco)
1 tsp. Salt
1 Egg - break in a MEASURING CUP-Beat w/ wire whisk then ADD:
1 tsp. Vanilla
1 tsp. Vinegar
Fill Measuring cup with enough water to make 1 cup
Cut shortening into flour and salt until crumbly. Pour the 1/2 cup of egg/vanilla/vinegar/water mixture into flour mixture and mix. If more liquid is needed, pour a bit of the last 1/2 cup of liquid in just a bit at a time until it's the consistency you want. This dough handles well and is very forgiving. Never cardboardy or hard. Roll the bottom crust out and place in pie pan. Crimp edge.
POUR the apples into the pastry lined pie shell. Dot the surface of the apples with little chucks of the butter. Bake about 15 minutes at 450 degrees to cook the bottom crust then turn oven down to 350 and bake another 35 minutes. Check it toward the middle to end of cooking time to make sure the crust isn't burning. If it gets to brown, put an aluminum foil tent over the pie. *** Remove from oven and add the chopped nuts and some of the carmel then put back in the oven for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven and serve or can serve at room temperature.
***You don't want to put the nuts on the pie until the end as they burn if left in the oven too long. The last 10 minutes of baking cooks the nuts nicely but doesn't over cook them.
When I serve the pie I drizzle some of the carmel topping on the plate, put the piece of pie ontop of the drizzle then I drizzle more carmel over the top of the pie. Can serve with Whip Cream or ice cream.
Yummy!
Just fixed the nut minutes...you cook the nuts on the pie for 10 minutes NOT 110 minutes! :oops:
