This Caramel Apple pie was so delicious! I made it one night for my family and my 5 year old told me I should "hide it from daddy" so we could have it all to ourselves. It's super simple and so I'm making again to take to dinner at a friends house tonight. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

This really is the best apple pie I've ever had. I'm a novice in the kitchen, and this was still easy enough for me. I doubled the filling mixture and used Heath bars for the toffee. This pie is going to be a new tradition in my family.
