CARAMEL APPLE PIE
6-8 med. sized apples
3/4 bag Kraft caramels or one pkg. caramel wraps
2 heaping TBLs. Bisquick
3 heaping TBLS. Brown sugar
Cinnamon to taste
Caramel ice cream topping
2 (9 inch) deep-dish pie crusts
If using Kraft caramels, melt caramels according to directions on bag. Spread a thin layer of melted caramel or lay one and a half caramel wrap sheets on pie crust bottom. Slice half of your peeled apples into pie crust that has had a layer of caramel applied. Sprinkle layer of apple with cinnamon to taste. (Don't be afraid to sprinkle generously.) Sprinkle 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of Bisquick over cinnamon apple layer. Next, sprinkle 3 heaping tablespoonfuls of brown sugar.
Continue with "building" the pie by starting with another layer of caramel and continuing as above. Top pie with a layer of caramel, two sheets of caramel wraps if using this product, so you end up with a finished pie containing 3 layers of caramel and 2 layers of apple with dried ingredients.
Cover pie with top crust and slit top to allow steam to escape while baking. Spread caramel ice cream topping over top crust for your glaze and bake on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes (or until golden brown). Let pie cool before serving as filling will be hot.
