Ingredients for Apple Praline Pie

  • 6 medium apples (about 4 cups peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • Granulated Sugar
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons apple pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for praline topping
  • Refrigerated Pie Crusts
  • ⅓ cup packed light brown sugar, for praline topping
  • Whipping Cream
  • ½ cup chopped pecans, for praline topping

How to Make Apple Praline Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, apple pie spice, and salt. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Place one pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared crust.
  4. Dot the apple filling evenly with 4 tablespoons of butter.
  5. Top with the second pie crust. Seal and crimp the edges. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  6. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
  7. While the pie is baking, prepare the praline topping:
  8. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
  9. Stir in the brown sugar and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans.
  11. Once the pie is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes).
  12. Spread the praline topping evenly over the hot pie.
  13. Place the pie on a baking sheet and return it to the oven for 5 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned.
  14. Remove from the oven and let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
