  1. Made this for the family tonight served with single pouring cream, and it tasted fantastic! The only thing I would suggest is to make sure you blind bake the base first, if you're making (or rolling out) the pastry yourself, before adding the apple mixture. That way you will get a nice crispy pie base that isn't soggy. Thanks so much for this recipe. It's certainly a keeper! :)
     
  2. I ended up with 2 pies! I had 3 huge apples to work with and I sliced them (no peeling) and I ended up with enough apples for 2 pies. I did use 28 Kraft caramel squares but only about half the can of evaporated milk. I didn't want it to be too liquidy. I also only did baking time for about 30 minutes, my apples were maybe on the thin side, so they didn't need the full 35 minutes. This pie turned out GREAT as the man of the house loves anything caramel and apple. We ate a piece each still a little warm. With the extra caramels I made him a huge giant caramel apple as an extra treat. Thanks for a great recipe!
     
  3. Pretty damn good! My cousin, who is extremely picky about his apple pie couldn't stop raving!
     
  4. This recipe is AMAZING!!! I get rave reviews every time I make it. It is a little time consuming, but it is worth it!
     
  5. Excellent recipe. It was easy to follow and the pie turned out great. MY hubby and 2 toddlers loved it. Just because my mom did this with her apple pies, I added a tsp of vanilla flavor, pinch of nutmeg, and about two ounces of butter. I always love the flavor vanilla and butter give to pies.
