You'll love the smell in your kitchen—and the smiles on everybody's faces—when you make this scrumptious pie that's drizzled with caramel sauce. It's takes me back home to Virginia and being at my granny's table. —Gloria Castro, Santa Rose, California

BEST. PIE. EVER. I cannot express how good this is. The thick crumble and caramel apple inside are the most fantastic thing ever. Perfect for holidays or your work potluck.

Made this 3X's and it was a HIT every time. I've been asked to make it again, or for the recipe! Very good dessert, and while baking, makes the house smell delish!

Made this pie for Thanksgiving. It was very good, great flavor. I had a hard time getting the center to thicken up, it was a bit runny.

If I made it again I would decrease the amount of cinnamon and maybe try adding more caramel. I really didn't taste the caramel.
