Candy Apple Pie
First off I want to thank the fall weather for encouraging me to gain 12 pounds this season. THANK YOU!
Last Friday we attended our first Halloween party, in which we were 2 of the three people at the party who dressed up. It was not our first time looking like idiots on the subway and it sure as hell won’t be the last. I am trying to do this new, nice, grown up thing when I go to parties; bringing food. Not a six pack of Budweiser, a nice homemade treat. When I crowd sourced and asked the age old question, “Pie or candy apples?” I was promptly told “CANDY APPLE PIE”. I was so on it.
I googled the aforementioned phrase and (un?)surprisingly a bamillion recipes came up. There is officially nothing google doesn’t know. I picked the first one that came up, threw on an apron and started peeling apples.
This recipe is kind of insane? A crust made of graham crackers, pecans, caramel, butter and brown sugar?! OW. Then came the apples, which were reduced in a brown butter sauce. THEN I was supposed to put a cream cheese layer on top of that, but I did not have it my heart to kill everyone at the party, so I omitted that step. The top was only some homemade whipped cream and pecans and MORE caramel. Did I say only? (Un?)Fortunately due to the pecans I couldn’t even tast this sugar behemoth, but I heard it was great! I also heard it was “disgustingly sweet”, which, no shit, it’s a CANDY APPLE PIE.
