CARAMEL APPLE-PEAR GRANOLA CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Oatmeal Crust Preparation: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine oats, almonds, powdered sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Stir in butter. Grease/spray a 9-inch pie pan. Press half of oatmeal mixture into bottom and up sides. Take remaining half of oatmeal mixture and spread it out onto a greased cookie sheet as if making 1 large cookie. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Set aside to cool while making pie filling.
• Apple-Pear Cream Filling Preparation: In a saucepan, whisk together sugars, lemon juice, butter and maple flavor over medium heat. In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt and sprinkle into sugar mixture in saucepan. Mix in sliced apples and pears. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat. Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese and heavy cream until smooth. Stir cream cheese mixture into warm apple mixture until well incorporated. Pour filling into prepared pie crust.
• Assembly: Take baked large "oatmeal cookie" and crumble it into small chunks. Sprinkle oatmeal crumble onto pie filling, covering it almost completely. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour at 375 degrees F. Cool at least 30 minutes. While pie is cooling, prepare caramel sauce.
• For Caramel Sauce: Unwrap caramel candies. In the top of a double boiler, melt the caramels in the evaporated milk, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth and pourable. Pour caramel sauce in a zigzag pattern over cooled pie. May serve with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

• Mix the frozen yogurt and granola together in a medium bowl. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a broiler-safe 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Peel and core the apples, then cut them in half vertically. Place the apple halves, cut-side-down, on a cutting board and make 1/8-inch-thick crosswise slices, stopping before you cut through to the bottom to keep the halves intact. Arrange the apples in the prepared baking dish.
• Melt the butter and mix in the apple pie spice. Use half of the spiced butter to brush the apples and add to the bottom of the baking dish; reserve the other half for the crumb topping. Add 2 tablespoons water to the baking dish. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the apples are just tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes more.
• Remove the dish from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Preheat the broiler to high.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining spiced butter with the panko, pecans and sugar.
• When the apples have cooled, gently separate each of the slices and spoon a small amount of the panko mixture in between. Sprinkle any remaining mixture on top.
