The Perfect Caramel Apple Pie Recipe
We’ve been loving all of the apple recipes this fall! This is our favorite apple pie because it’s got extra caramel flavor! This pie is the ultimate caramel dip for apples already mixed together.
The hardest part of this recipe for me is shaping the edge of the crust. I love that this pie dish from Amazon doesn’t require any skill, it looks like you can just press your crust into the preformed ripples. That would guarantee all of my pies to be perfectly shaped!
Another skill that my mom has taught me is determining when the pie is set or finished baking. While the crust looks done after 30 minutes in the oven, the center of the pie is definitely not finished baking. That’s why the foil is so helpful to protect the crust from burning while the rest of the pie finishes baking. This caramel apple pie is done when it doesn’t jiggle anymore when picked up. It may move some in the center, but out towards the edges shouldn’t move at all. Letting the pie rest for at least 30 minutes will also allow it to continue baking.
Apple Pie For Baking Contest
I first made this recipe at the age of 13 for a baking contest at an area festival called Happy Apple Days. My mom gave me the recipe then and reminded me of it again recently. While I honestly don’t remember the outcome of that contest I do know I have a lot of ribbons from those type of contests. My mom spent hours teaching me baking and cooking skills and I’m so grateful for that!
Growing up on a farm and being very active in 4-H. A few activities I enjoyed were serving as the county Pork Princess and Dairy Princess. In that role, I would go to area parades and festivals to promote the farm product I was representing. I imagine I was scheduled to attend the Happy Apple Days festival when I was royalty and my mom suggested that I go ahead and enter the baking contest since I would be there.
Farmhouse Fall Apple Recipe Ideas
Another fall favorite recipe is our Farmhouse Apple Flip, such a great apple dessert, but not quite as sweet as this Caramel Apple Pie. We also love our Cinnamon Applesauce Cake and Applesauce Meatballs as staples all year around.
We hope you enjoy these recipes as much as we do!
