Made this a while ago, and brought it to work as a treat! Super Easy with a huge WOW factor... I added a little more caramel than the recipe called for, but that's just me, it'd have been just as perfect either way. People at work didn't really think that I MADE it myself, (which is a real compliment, because I'm not a good 'baker') they thought I bought it at a bakery lol! Thank you for sharing! -
I love caramel and this was a yummy change from a regular apple pie. I used Rome apples and walnuts. -
I only do dessert when we are having guests - and this was an excellent choice for a "non baker" like me! I used Granny Smith apples & served it warm with a choice of vanilla ice cream or frozen yoghurt. Thanx Geema! -
YUMMY! Followed recipe to a "T" using Rome apples. Pretty easy to put together, but tastes like it was much more work! I chopped my apples into 1/2 - 3/4 inch pieces, as the recipe didn't specify, and it worked out fine. One suggestion: don't eat it right out of the fridge...you may get suprised with some cold caramel pieces that are hard to chew and get stuck in your teeth! Let it sit a little while to take the chill off...it is worth the wait, believe me! -
I made this for my father, who LOVES caramel apple pie. The only change I made to this was to substitiute walnuts for the pecans, and I mixed them in with the filling instead of on top of the pie. Took this to our family's Sunday dinner...and they didn't leave a crumb in the pan! Very rich, so a small slice will do. But the flavors blended together wonderfully. I will be making this again....especially in the fall.
