Ingredients
Scale
Pie Filling
- 6-7 apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup diced apples
- ½ lemon, juiced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Twix candy bars, diced (amount not specified, estimated 3 bars for filling)
Pie Crust
- 1 ready-made pie crust
Crumb Topping
- 1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Topping
- ½ cup diced Twix candy bars
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the pie.
- Prepare Apple Mixture: In a large bowl, combine peeled and sliced apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, and flour. Toss the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the apples are well coated.
- Add Twix Candy: Add diced Twix candy bars to the apple mixture and toss gently to incorporate the candy pieces evenly.
- Fill the Pie Shell: Place the apple and Twix mixture into the ready-made pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Set the pie aside for the topping preparation.
- Prepare Crumb Topping: In a large bowl, add cold unsalted butter, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and salt. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
- Top the Pie: Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple and Twix filling in the pie shell.
- Bake the Pie: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the crust and topping are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Cool the Pie: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely to set before serving.
- Add Final Toppings: Once cooled, top the pie with additional diced Twix candy and a drizzle of chocolate topping if desired. Serve and enjoy your Twix Caramel Apple Pie!
Notes
- Use tart apple varieties like Granny Smith for better flavor and texture.
- If you prefer a chocolate drizzle topping, melt some chocolate chips for an easy finish.
- Ensure the butter for the crumb topping is cold for the best crumbly texture.
- Letting the pie cool before adding extra Twix topping prevents melting and keeps pieces intact.
- Use a glass or ceramic pie dish for even baking.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
