This pie is no joke. Make it and you will be obsessed. Trust me, I have made 3 of these pies just this week. 2 regular, one gluten free, all delicious! I will definitely be making this one for Thanksgiving, too! Bring on the apples and caramel! My children go crazy for this…both of them which is unusual to agree on a dessert like this!
*2023 update: Still INCREDIBLE! This time I used a frozen deep dish crust and did not prebake it. I only had old fashioned oats on hand which were perfect and I used 2 honeycrisp/2 granny smith. A drop xtra on the caramel, too!

Instructions
Crust
- Mix dry ingredients with a fork in your pie pan. Pour in oil and milk and stir until it becomes a dough and forms a ball.
- Flatten and press dough into pan.
- Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt.
- Add apple slices and gently toss until coated.
- Transfer apple mixture to the baking dish.
- Combine all crumb ingredients to form a dough.
- Sprinkle crumb topping over apple mixture.
- Cover the edges of the crust with a pie protector ring. (Only for first 25 mins.)Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for approx 50-55 minutes. After the first 25 minutes, remove the ring to allow the crust to brown.
- Remove from oven.
- Drizzle caramel on top. (I like to let it cool a bit beforr adding caramel.)
- Cool on a wire rack and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
