With cooler weather approaching, I’m dreaming of pumpkin & apple desserts. Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without some delicious apple desserts and this next recipe is a crowd-pleaser – Caramel Apple Crisp Pie! It’s just like the popular apple crisp recipe (like Grandma used to make) but with a crisp pie crust and drizzled with caramel. It’s best when served warm with a scoop of ice cream but it’s just as tasty cold from the fridge the next day!
