Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Pre-made pie crust (or homemade crust)
- 6 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Pecan halves
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired. Set aside.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the sliced apples in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, arranging them evenly.
Dot the apple filling with small pieces of butter. This will add a rich flavor to the pie as it bakes.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
While the pie bakes, prepare the pecan praline topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, brown sugar (from the topping ingredients), and butter. Cook and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture begins to thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
Remove the pie from the oven after 40 minutes and carefully pour the praline mixture evenly over the top, spreading it gently if necessary. Scatter the pecan halves over the praline glaze.
Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the praline topping to set and the pecans to toast slightly.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour to allow the filling and topping to set properly.
Slice and serve the Apple Pecan Praline Pie as is, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
