This is an incredible pie! It makes a large pie. The flavors are incredible and the crunchy top just adds to it. The cream in it surprisingly does not make it a creamy filling. It is still saucy like a regular apple pie. Read more . Just looks more like caramel actually and tastes like caramel. I make this for my Thanksgiving table every year. I use to make it for my children’s teachers on Thanksgiving to add to their table. It is just an amazing pie. Enjoy. Ingredients:
