Caramel-Crunch Apple Pie

By Addie

This sweet apple pie will make you the hit of every party. Slices are even better served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Ingredients

• 28 Werther's Original Chewy Caramels
• 2 tablespoons water
• 5 cups thinly sliced peeled tart apples (about 2 pounds)
• 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

Step 1

In a heavy saucepan, combine caramels and water. Cook and stir over low heat until melted; stir until smooth.

Arrange a third of the apples in pastry shell; drizzle with a third of the caramel mixture. Repeat layers twice. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar and cinnamon; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in walnuts. Sprinkle over pie.

Bake at 375° for 40-45 minutes or until apples are tender (cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary). Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 6-8 servings.
