I just found this recipe and remembered that I wanted to try it out some time ago already. It apparently comes from Virginia and it just has to taste great! Caramel with pecans and apples – you literally cannot go wrong! If that is something that appeals to you, here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 7 cups of sliced tart apples
  • 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup of chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup of packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons of sugar
  • 4-12 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup of caramel ice cream topping (room temperature)
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
  • 3 tablespoon of melted butter

Topping:

3/4 cup of flour

  • 2/3 cup of chopped pecans
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 6 tablespoons of cold butter
  • 1/4 cup of caramel ice cream topping – at room temperature

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl. toss together apples with lemon juice and vanilla
  2. Combine the pecans, sugars, cinnamon and cornstarch, add it to apple mixture and toss to coat.
  3. Pour caramel topping over bottom of pastry shell, top with apple mixture and drizzle with butter.
  4. In a small bowl. combine the flour, pecans and sugar.
  5. Cut in butter, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs
  6. Sprinkle over filling
  7. Bake at 350F for 55-60 minutes, until filling is bubbly and topping is browned.
  8. Immediately drizzle with caramel topping
  9. Cool on a wire rack
