Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 4 cups sliced apples
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1 cup crushed Twix bars
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced apples with lemon juice, ensuring all apple slices are coated to prevent browning.
- Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and all-purpose flour to the apples. Gently mix until the apples are evenly coated with the dry ingredients.
- Roll out the pie crust and carefully place it into the prepared pie dish, trimming any excess dough around the edges and creating a decorative crimp.
- Spread half of the caramel sauce across the bottom of the pie crust, creating an even layer.
- Pour the seasoned apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it evenly and creating a slight mound in the center.
- Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the apple filling.
- Sprinkle the crushed Twix bars evenly across the top of the pie, ensuring good coverage.
- Cover the pie edges with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, removing the foil during the last 15 minutes to allow the crust to golden.
- Remove from oven and let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or additional caramel drizzle.
Tips
- • Choose firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor balance. • Make sure to coat apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and add a subtle brightness. • Crush Twix bars just before adding to maintain their crispy texture and prevent sogginess. • Use aluminum foil to protect pie crust edges from over-browning during the initial baking. • Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes to let the filling set properly - this ensures clean, beautiful slices. • For an extra touch of decadence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or an additional drizzle of caramel. • If you want a more pronounced Twix flavor, consider adding a layer of crushed cookies both on top and mixed into the filling.
