Dulce de Leche Apple Pie

I made this recipe as an experiment at Thanksgiving Dinner. I've had requests for it ever since. Like a caramel pie, but not too sweet, it's wonderful warm or cold. And excellent for breakfast the next day!

Ingredients

• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 (14.1 ounce) package pastry for 9-inch double-crust pie
• 1 ½ cups dulce de leche
• 5 large baking apples - peeled, cored, and sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon together in a bowl until well blended. Add dulce de leche; stir until evenly distributed in the sugar mixture. Stir in apples until evenly coated.

Step 3

Roll out pie crusts on a lightly floured work surface. Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 crust. Pour in apple filling, heaping it in the middle. Cover with second crust. Pinch edges together to seal. Cut several slits into the top with a sharp knife.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until apples are hot and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes more.
