This recipe was the winner in Good Morning America’s Apple Pie Contest in 2001.
Ingredients for the Pie
1 pastry crust for a deep-dish pie 9-inch (homemade or store-bought)
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup caramel topping
Ingredients for the Crumb Topping
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup butter
Directions for the Crumb Topping
Stir together brown sugar, flour, rolled oats.
Cut in 1/2 cup butter until topping is like course crumbs.
Set aside.
Directions for the Pie
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
Add apple slices and gently toss until coated.
Transfer apple mixture to the pie shell.
Sprinkle crumb topping over apple mixture.
Place pie on a cookie sheet so the drippings don’t drop into your oven.
Cover edges of pie with aluminum foil.
Bake in a preheated 375 oven for 25 minutes.
Remove foil and put back in for another 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove from oven.
Sprinkle pie with chopped pecans. Drizzle with caramel on top.
Cool on a wire rack and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
