I love this recipe.

This apple pie is so simple to whip up and tastes delicious! The butter syrup mixture thickens on the stove to make a home-made caramel that gets poured over the crust. I love this pie because it never gets watery and the crust always has a perfect crunch. Perfect after-dinner dessert for those chilly autumn nights.

Trust me, you don’t want to miss out on this…
