Simple Carmel-Apple Pie

Day 1 of the Week of Pies.

I have a bunch of Fuji apples, which are delicious in pies, pancakes and plain. I also had about a cup of caramel sauce left over from a party. The solution:

Simple Carmel-Apple Pie

Ingredients:

1 Whole Wheat Crust

~6C peeled, cored and finely sliced Fuji apples

~1C caramel sauce, heated for easy pouring

Proceedure:

(1) Roll out crust to 13", place into a deep dish pie plate. Trim and reserve the overhanging crust

(2) Place sliced apple into the crust, cover with caramel.

(3) Arrange the reserved crust in two concentric rings on top of the fruit.

(4) Bake at 400deg for 45min or until bubbling. The bubbling is key.

(5) LET COOL COMPLETELY! There's no cornstarch here, so the fiber in the fruit has to set up to hold this thing together.
