Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie Recipe

Well, if you are like me and went apple picking recently, then you have probably exhausted all recipes known to man when it comes to apples.  I decided that since I made apple crisp, apple sauce then it was time for my good ole pie.  With the apples that I had left,  I made one of my favorite apple pies.  If you haven’t tried Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie then it is a definite must try!  I included the recipe and also included a few pictures for your viewing and slobbering pleasure (lol).  If you try it out, then be sure to let me know what you think of it.  My husband loves it and like I said….it is my favorite apple pie EVER!!  Hope you enjoy it.
