caramel apple pie

the famous fall treat...minus the stick of course. 

filling:

6 medium sized granny smith apples (peeled, cored and diced)
2 T butter (melted)
3/4 C sugar
1/2 t nutmeg
1 t cinnamon

topping:

1/2 C brown sugar
1/4 C flour
1/4 C butter (melted)
1/2 C chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
1 frozen deep dish pie crust

preheat oven to 375. 


mix all ingredients for filling in a medium sized bowl. toss everything until apples are fully coated then pour into pie shell. 


mix all ingredients for topping in a small bowl. drizzle caramel mixture over apple filling mix. 


place pie in oven and bake for 50 minutes. 

(tip o' the day: place a foil lined cookie sheet on the shelf beneath the pie. this will catch any molten sugary pie juices from dripping onto the bottom of your oven!)
