This recipe was absolutely delicious and very simple to put together! I highly suggest it! -
Thank You ! This Pie is easy to make and easy to love ! -
Oops! I didn't follow directions correctly, and it still turned out great. Instead of pouring the sauce over the outer crust, I let the slurry cool a bit and stirred it into the cut up apples. That will teach me not to read directions first! Oh well--I just put a lattice top crust on, giving it an egg-white wash with a sprinkling of sugar and baked as directed. A beautiful looking pie...inside and out. Its taste is slightly different than a typical apple pie--I attribute that to half brown/half white sugar and 1/2 C butter. A nice combination and a little bit different than usual--thanks Nimz. -
I have made this pie twice now, It's fun to make and the flavor is outstanding.... we served ours with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and let it melt alittle and it was to die for!!!! Thank you !! -
What a great recipe ~Nimz~. We loved this ooey gooey apple pie. The flavour was incredible. The crust was flaky and tender while the apple filling and sauce were out of this world. One of the best tasting apple pies I have tried so far on this site. That said, I also had a little trouble with the caramel sauce, it was too thick, it wouldn't pour, so I added 1/2 cup of water to compensate. It worked great. The end result was truly a spectacular tasting home made treat. Thanks for sharing a recipe that has gone into my keeper box.

I was one of the original members of Recipezaar that was truly a community of individuals that enjoyed each other in forums and chat rooms. I've been a member of this site since 2003. Made some tremendous friends that I still think of often. I'll continue coming here because my recipes are here and so many more that I tried over the years as a member. It's just a tad boring now and just another recipe site like all the rest. Sad.
