Best Apple Pie in the WORLD!!!

I found this recipe on a website a long time ago and I always get rave reviews.  It is simply amazing! It is half apple pie, half apple crisp. Be warned though this is not a low fat food.

This is taken before Caramel was drizzled on top.

For Pie

• pastry for single-crust pie
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples

Crumb Topping

• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
• 1/2 cup butter

Final Topping

• 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Prepare pastry for single-crust pie, being careful not to stretch dough too much.
2. Place in pie plate and trim and crimp the edge.
3. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
4. Add apple slices and gently toss until they are coated well.
5. Transfer mixture to pie.
6. FOR CRUMB TOPPING: Stir together brown sugar, flour, and oats.
7. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until topping resembles coarse crumbs.
8. Sprinkle over apple mixture in pie.
9. To prevent over-browning while baking, cover edge of pie with foil.
10. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes or until top is golden.
11. Remove from oven.
12. Drizzle top with caramel topping; sprinkle with pecans. ( I omit pecans because I just don't like them)
13. Cool on wire rack and serve!
