Caramel Apple Cream Pie

When I first made this pie for my family, the reactions weren't real words—they were more "Ooh!" and "Mmm!" I created it to enter in a local fair. My goal was an apple pie like no other, and it ended up winning third prize. —Lisa DiNuccio, Boxford, Massachusetts

    I rated this as a 5* recipe. I tried this recipe 11/01/14 and have found it to be very good! I admit that I had made slight adjustments on this recipe. I baked this pie for 45 to 50 minutes. delowenstein(I have tried to list the other adjustments, but I couldn't get any farther than what I've reviewed here!)
