Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie

This pie is the best I have ever had. Here is the recipe I use:

Ingredients:

1 pastry crust for a deep-dish 9 inch pie (I use frozen, but I put in a GLASS deep-dish pie plate)
½ cup sugar
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
6 cups thinly sliced apples ( I use 3 Fugi & 3 Golden Delicious)
½ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup caramel topping
1 recipe for crumb topping (below)

Ingredients for Crumb Topping:

1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup Quick cooking rolled oats
½ cup butter

Directions Crumb Topping:

1) Stir together brown sugar, rolled oats, flour

2) Cut in ½ cup soft (not melted) butter until topping is like course crumbs

Directions for pie:

1) In large mixing bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cinnamon & salt

2) Add apples slices and gently toss until coated

3) Transfer coated apple slices to pie shell

4) Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over apple mixture

5) Place pie on cookie sheet so drippings won't drop into your oven

6) Cover edges of pie (if exposed) with aluminum foil

7) Bake in pre-heated 375 deg. Oven 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 25-30 minutes

8) Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped pecans then drizzle caramel on top

9) Cool on wire rack. Serve at room temp, cold, or heated in microwave

10) ENJOY!
