Twix Caramel Apple Pie combines the comforting flavors of apple pie with the irresistible crunch of Twix candy bars and gooey caramel. This dessert is perfect for those who love a sweet, indulgent treat and makes a show-stopping centerpiece for any gathering or holiday table.

Ingredients

For the Pie Crust:

  • 1 pre-made or homemade pie crust (9-inch)

For the Apple Filling:

  • 6 cups apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Twix and Caramel Topping:

  • 6 Twix candy bars, chopped
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the Pie Crust:
    • Roll out the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Set aside.
  3. Make the Apple Filling:
    • In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until evenly coated. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  4. Prepare the Crumble Topping:
    • In a medium bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Assemble the Pie:
    • Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble is golden brown. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield.
  6. Add the Twix and Caramel:
    • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly. Sprinkle the chopped Twix candy bars over the top and drizzle generously with caramel sauce.
  7. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
