Pecapple pie

It's not a spelling error... it's not a new Pokemon... it's the greatest pie mash-up ever made! Perfect for giving thanks, or any other holiday that may be coming up in the next three months! Looks great next to pumpkin pie AND versatile enough to be had on a snowman plate without looking out of place!

It is rare that such earth shattering, mind blowing and taste bud tingling inspiration comes upon us, but yes, this recipe was a pure stroke of genius!

... by my mother...

Which makes this a family recipe! Her brilliant idea was to add apples to my grandma's amazing Pecan Pie recipe. The corn syrup and brown sugar combination makes it very similar to caramel, and adding apples to it makes it basically a caramel apple with crust, that's easy to eat (alternate name: Caramapple Pie).

Pecapple Pie:

Ingredients:
Your favourite lovingly and laboriously made pie crust (Or a store bought pie crust, no judgement here.)
2/3 cups of sugar
1/3 cups of butter, melted
1 cup of corn syrup (oh yeah.)
1/2 teaspoons of salt
3 eggs
3 apples, peeled and cut into your favourite shape for a pie
1 cup of pecans

Directions:
pre-heat oven to 375
Mix all ingredients in a bowl (except for the pie crust)
pour goopy mess into your pie crust, Pecan pie is an open faced pie, like pumpkin. The Pecans float to the top and make a type of shell.
bake at 375 for an hour or "until pie doesn't jiggle" (I told you, this is a family recipe)

So easy right? Pecan pie has been a family tradition for us, mostly because it's SO EASY and SO GOOD, adding apples just makes it legendary.

It was so good I feel obligated to put pictures of my food on the internet!! 

Um, I may need to work on my food photography. But still, looks nummy right? Right?...

...you may have to try it for yourself ;) 

This one is pumpkin, but it's cute :). Happy holiday season everyone!
