"This is the most wonderful apple pie, and one of my family's favorites!... of coarse, if you prefer, this pie may be made with your favorite homemade pie crust, or use my recipe#66929 for this. (note: this pie is best prepared with Granny Smith apples, as these apples seem to hold up better, and not become soft and soggy when baked). Hint: my advise to you is...better prepare two of these, as they will go fast, this pie is so delicious!"

I can always count on a Kittencal recipe! Thanks so much for posting. I made as directed except subbed pecans for walnutgs - personal preference - and made 2 as I had extra apples. Eating one myself as DH doesn't like "cooked apples" and gave one to our neighbors - who I understand really enjoyed it. Thanks for a definite "keeper" recipe!

This is right up there with the best apple pies that I've ever made and I've made quite a few! My hubby loved the crispy, crunchy caramel topping.I had to increase the amount of water, probably as I used those cheap caramels from the dollar store - I couldn't find the good ones from Kraft. I made my own pastry, included some freshly grated nutmeg & substituted pecans for those yucky walnuts! Thank you once again Carol!

Just baked this today. It was a hit! I used fresh honey crisp apples from my neighbors tree, and subbed worthers soft caramels as I had those on hand, also added a smidge more cinnamon because we love cinnamon. Will definitely bake this again and again. Thanks for sharing this one!
