    I’m gonna try cutting the pie crust into rounds that fit into muffin tins and bake them have mini tartlets will let u know how they come out.

  2. Shannon Hamner says:

    I am wondering if you could make this and then pour it into pie crust and bake as a normal pie?

  3. Jane Thibeault says:

    I’m going to try it with Ginger Snaps and those Stacy’s Cinnamon Sugar chips.

  4. Brenda Tope says:

    You can also take soft taco shells brush them with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Cut them in triangle shapes with a pizza cutter and bake them till browned and crunchy. Great dipping chips.

    1. cherripii says:

      “soft taco shells”…you mean flour tortillas? :)))

  5. Jlynn says:

    Can you freeze it?

  6. Stephanie says:

    Is the caramel supposed to be watery at the end? Mine seemed to be very runny.

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      Mine was a little thinner than what I started with, but wasn’t runny. It could be the apples you used were juicier than the ones I used?

    2. Amanda says:

      Mine was super runny too. :/

      1. Jane Thibeault says:

        I wonder if it’s runny depending on what kind of apples you use. Macs would be very juicy compared to a drier apple??? Does it thicken as it cools off?

  7. Jodi says:

    What about using canned apples or apple pie filing instead of actual apples.

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      That would be really good too! Would probably need less caramel since the apple pie filling is pretty moist and flavorful already.

  8. applelover says:

    Looks delicious!!! Do you serve warm?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I ate it both ways. Hot when I made it and cold later that day. Both were equally delicious.

  9. Michelle Barrett says:

    Do you think you could use Marzetti caramel dip instead of the Smuckers?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I think that would work ok. It may be thicker, but I would think it would melt down nicely.

  10. Vicky H says:

    Any reason why this couldn’t be doubled?

    1. Sarah Olson says:

      I don’t see why not!
