Caramel Amaretto Apple Pie Recipes

CARAMEL AMARETTO APPLE PIE

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.

CARAMEL APPLE PIE MARTINI

Steps:

• Combine vodka, amaretto, and the 2 schnapps in a cocktail shaker with ice; shake until cold and blended.
• Combine cinnamon, sugar, and cracker crumbs on a small plate.
• Pour vanilla on another small plate and dip rims of two martini glasses.
• Dip wet rims into the sugar mixture.
• Pour the cold cocktail mixture into the glasses.
• Garnish with an apple slice and a pinch of the leftover sugar mixture.
• Alternatively instead of rimming the glasses, you can just mix the sugar and cinnamon together, and add a bit to each glass after pouring the drinks.

CHEF JOHN'S CARAMEL APPLE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine butter, white sugar, brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and set aside.
• Roll out half the pastry to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Place bottom crust in pie plate; pour in apple slices.
• Roll out top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 8 (1-inch) wide strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Weave the pastry strips, one at a time, into a lattice pattern. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and crimp to seal.
• Pour butter-sugar mixture over top of pie, coating the lattice, and allowing any remaining sauce to drizzle through the crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake until the crust is golden brown, the caramel on the top crust is set, and the apple filling is bubbling, 35 to 40 more minutes. Allow to cool completely before slicing.
