Caramel Pecan Apple Pie

Today I have a wonderful Caramel Pecan Apple Pie to add to your Thanksgiving Pies arsenal!This pie is a wonderful mix of sweet, tart and nuttiness!  It will have your taste buds singing!  This is a great pie to make ahead and freeze if you are crunched for time!

Don’t pay attention to the calorie count in this recipe, because it is for all 4 pie shells.  I could not figure out how to change it, so just ignore that.  It is pie and has calories…just not quite that many!  :)  

 I found these darling pie dishes when we went on our Girl’s Retreat a couple of months ago.  I was going to maybe use them for gifts, but decided that they were the perfect size to make mini pies for my husband and I!  I love the cute saying in the bottom of each pie dish and the fun fall colors!  :)I made 4 mini pies and piled the apples high in each dish!You can cover the edges of the pies with tin foil if they brown too fast.  I did not have to use the foil very much because the pies were very full and the crust did not brown too fast!You add the pecans at the end of the baking time and then bake for an additional 5 minutes.  I let the pies cool just a bit before drizzling the melted caramel on the top.  You can use jarred caramel topping if you do not have the Peter’s caramel, but it is more of a sauce and will melt down into the pie more.I love these little mini pies.  They are the perfect size for my husband and I.  I cut one pie in half and added a couple of scoops of butter pecan ice cream and my husband declared that “This is the best apple pie you have ever made!”  So I guess that means this one is a keeper!  :)  I put the other three pies in the freezer for a later date…all I have to do is thaw it out and warm it a bit and I have dessert all taken care of!

Do you make pies for Thanksgiving?  I am always looking for good pie recipes and I think that this Caramel Pecan Apple Pie will be around for many years to come!  

Thanks for visiting!  Hope you have a great day!
