Ingredients
Scale
- 21 oz (595 g) canned apple pie filling
- 1 large egg
- 1 9-inch (23 cm) frozen pie crust
- ¾ cup (180 ml) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (180 ml) whole rolled old-fashioned oats
- ¾ cup (180 ml) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (60 ml) light brown sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ tsp (7.5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) salt
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) allspice
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) ground cloves
- caramel sauce or caramel ice cream topping
- ice cream or whipped topping
Instructions
- Pie Crust Preparation: Chill the pie crust thoroughly in the freezer to ensure a crisp, flaky foundation for the caramel apple crumble pie.
- Batter Creation: Blend melted butter with eggs, sugars, vanilla, and warming spices until achieving a silky, homogeneous mixture that promises rich, complex flavors.
- Dry Ingredient Integration: Fold flour and oats into the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive batter emerges without any lingering dry clusters.
- Apple Filling Incorporation: Gently combine apple pie filling with the crumble mixture, distributing fruit and spices evenly throughout the pie’s landscape.
- Pie Assembly: Transfer the luxurious filling into the chilled crust, spreading carefully to create a level surface that promises uniform baking and texture.
- Baking Preparation: Place the pie on a sturdy baking sheet to catch potential drips and protect the oven from messy overflow.
- Oven Transformation: Bake in a preheated oven until the pie develops a golden-brown exterior with a slightly elevated surface that will gracefully settle during cooling.
- Cooling and Setting: Allow the pie to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes, permitting the filling to stabilize and intensify its aromatic profile.
- Serving Finale: Enhance the dessert by drizzling with decadent caramel sauce and accompanying with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or billowy whipped cream.
Notes
- Chill Crust Completely: Freezing the pie crust ensures a flaky, crisp texture and prevents soggy bottoms, creating a perfect foundation for your dessert.
- Prevent Egg Scrambling: Cool melted butter slightly before mixing with eggs to avoid accidentally cooking the eggs and maintaining a smooth batter consistency.
- Even Fruit Distribution: Carefully fold apple filling into crumble mixture to guarantee every bite contains a balanced mix of fruit, spices, and crumbly topping.
- Rest and Settle: Allow pie to cool for at least 30 minutes after baking, which helps filling set properly and intensifies the caramel and apple flavors for a more delicious experience.
