Sue's Taffy Apple Pie...Yes Please

Get yourself to the orchard and pick some apples!  When you get home, make this pie!  Delish!

Sue's Praline Taffy Apple Pie

Prepare favorite piecrust. Roll out pastry to form two 12” circles. Fit one circle into 9” pie plate.

For praline mixture, combine:
* ½ cup packed brown sugar
* ½ cup chopped pecans
* 1/3 cup flour
* ¼ cup melted butter.
Mix well and set aside.


For apple filling, combine:
* 2/3 cup sugar
* 3 Tbsp. flour
* 2 tsp. cinnamon
* 1 tsp. lemon juice
* Dash of salt.
Add 6 cups thinly peeled and sliced apples (about 2 ¼ lbs.) Toss to coat.

10 caramels, cut in half


Preheat oven to 375.  Transfer half of the apples mixture to the pastry-lined pie plate. Top with half of the praline mixture. Top with 10 caramels (cut in half). Repeat the layers with apples and praline mixture.

Top with second piecrust. Cut slits in top crust and fold under bottom pastry. (Trim extra if necessary.) Flute edges. Brush crust with half & half or milk. Put foil around edge of piecrust to avoid over-browning. Bake 375 for 25 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 20-25 more minutes until golden brown. Serve warm.
