Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 6-7 apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup apples, diced
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup diced Twix candy bars
Pie Crust
- Ready-made pie crust (enough for a single 9-inch pie)
Crumb Topping
- 1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Toppings
- Chocolate topping (such as melted chocolate or caramel sauce)
- ½ cup diced Twix candy bars
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare filling: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and ¼ cup flour. Toss everything together to evenly coat the apples.
- Add Twix candy: Gently fold in ½ cup of diced Twix candy bars into the apple mixture, making sure the pieces are well distributed without melting them.
- Fill the pie crust: Place the ready-made pie crust in your pie dish and pour the apple-Twix mixture evenly inside. Set aside while you prepare the crumb topping.
- Make crumb topping: In another large bowl, combine cold unsalted butter cut into small cubes, 2 cups flour, brown sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Top the pie: Evenly sprinkle the crumb topping over the filled pie, covering the apples completely.
- Bake the pie: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool the pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack to let the filling set.
- Add final toppings and serve: Once cooled, drizzle with chocolate or caramel topping and sprinkle with an additional ½ cup diced Twix candy bars. Slice and enjoy your Twix Caramel Apple Pie!
Notes
- For best results, use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness of the Twix.
- Allow the pie to cool fully before serving to ensure clean slices.
- If you prefer, make your own pie crust from scratch for a more homemade touch.
- Substitute caramel sauce for the chocolate topping if you prefer a purely caramel flavor.
- This pie can be stored covered at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
