Caramel Amaretto Apple Pie image

The original recipe is from the Pro Football Hall of Fame "Taste for Heroes". I've made a couple of changes and hope you like it. GREAT Autumn apple recipe with a "kick".

Time 1h30m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 cups apples, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup cornstarch
4 tablespoons Amaretto
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie pastry
1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats, uncooked
1/2 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Combine the first five ingredients (apples, brown sugar, cornstarch, amaretto and cinnamon in a bowl and mix well.
  • Pour this mixture into the unbaked pastry shell.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the pecans and remaining ingredients and stir until this mixture is crumbly.
  • Sprinkle this mixture over the apple pie and press it gently into the pie filling.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until lightly brown. (I do use a pie ring to keep the crust from getting too brown).
  • Serve warm or cool to room temperature before serving.
  • I have also served it with spiced whipped topping which is one small container of Cool Whip to which I've added 2 tablespoons of either pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice and 1 tablespoons of brown sugar and stirred well.
