Mine came out super runny-huge bummer
Town House has cinnamon sugar pita chips available this time of year, think I am going to try those, but will have cinnamon graham crackers on back up! So excited to try this recipe!!
Made this for a gathering last weekend. Sooo delicious, everyone loved it! I did add several extra cups of apples, and ginger and cloves; gave it more of a mulled cider taste. I used a cookie cutter on the pie crust to make cute little leaves too. This is one of my new favorites! Thank you!
I am thinking of using cinnamon gram crackers instead of the pie dough strips
Whatever you do, don’t overheat it – I came back after 2 hours and the caramel had completely separated to give a watery, clumpy sugar that the apples were just floating in…not good.
I have directions to make caramel sauce by heating a can of sweetened condensed milk in a slow cooker. Haven’t tried it yet. (Almost afraid I’d eat the whole can myself! LOL) I also found directions online to make my own sweetened condensed milk.
Sweetened Condensed Milk

Total Time:

Prep:
5 min
Cook:
3 min
Yield:
14 ounces
Level:
Easy
Ingredients
1/3 cup boiling water
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup powdered milk (recommended: Carnation)
Directions
Using an electric mixer, blend together water, butter, sugar, and vanilla.
Add powdered milk and blend until thick. Store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
I made some homemade caramel but it got thinner after apples cooked. Solution: I added Clear Jel a teaspoon at a time until I got the desired consistency. I also cooked my pie crust in custard cups which made the perfect sized personal pies served hot and ala mode w/ a nice crispy flaky crust.
This Would be good using cinnamon tortilla chips, soft tortillas, dip in melted butter, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on them then bake till crisp. Cut with a pizza cutter into 8 pieces.
That sounds delicious Risa!
Is it ok to bake the pie crust first and then let sit out for s few hours before I serve it?
Yes! A few hours would be fine, but overnight they get soggy. 🙂
Could you use caramel candy squares to put in instead of the jar stuff?
