TAFFY APPLE PIE



Taffy Apple Pie image

First you make a traditional apple pie filling and then things get more interesting. Half the apple mixture is spooned into a deep-dish pie shell and layered with caramels and a taffy mixture. And then more apples, caramels and taffy go in. And then it's baked and served warm.
