The holidays are quickly approaching and with that comes all of the parties and get togethers with family and friends. Sharing a warm, delicious, baked dessert is one of my favorite ways to show people how much I care about them. One of my favorite things to bake during the holiday season is this Caramel Apple Crumb Pie! I’ve been making this pie for my family for years and someone, usually my dad, always requests it.

When it comes to pie I prefer that my pies have the delicious whole grain oat topping rather than a double crust. To be honest, a good portion of those delicious rolled oats clumped together with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon end up in my mouth before they even make it to the top of the pie! The oat crumb topping of this apple pie is truly the star. I love using Quaker’s Old Fashioned Oats in the topping because they add some much texture and flavor. This year when I set out to make the pie I spotted the limited edition Quaker Oats Old Fashioned Oats 42oz winter canister, which is available at Target. Lucky for me, Target just happens to be where I buy a lot of my baking ingredients!

Making this Caramel Apple Crumb Pie is actually really simple. The apple filling is an easy mixture of peeled and sliced apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Once you’ve combined all of those ingredients add them to the prepared pie crust. Now for the best part, that addicting oat topping! In a small bowl combine the Old Fashioned Oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and cubed cold butter. Using a pastry blender or your hands work the mixture together until crumbles form. Add the topping (or what’s left of it) on top of the apples then pop it in the oven to bake. A word of warning, your house will start to smell incredible, your mouth will water, and you will crave a slice of this pie! Once the pie comes out of the oven drizzle it with the caramel sauce.  This Caramel Apple Crumb Pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends this holiday season!

    This pie looks absolutely delicious! I love baking with oats during the holidays, but I've never used oats as a pie topping like this. I will definitely need to give this pie a shot...and soon! Thanks for sharing! #client

      Thanks David! The oat topping is my absolute favorite part about this pie, I usually have to double the topping because I can't stop eating it! ;-)

    This looks delicious! If I were to make the pie ahead of time to take to a family dinner a few hours away, would you recommend that I re-warm the pie and the sauce and then drizzle before serving?

      Hi Rebekah, thank you so much! If you make the pie ahead of time go ahead and rewarm it. if you do so in the oven I would probably cover it lightly with foil if the crust and topping start to get too brown. The caramel sauce reheats perfectly in the microwave, about 15-20 seconds should work. I think drizzling the sauce on top of the pie just before serving is best. I hope you enjoy it!

    Hi! Will other apples go well in this particular pie? After extensive googling, I see that my favorite apple (HoneyCrisp) is also highly recommended for pies because of it's crispness. Granny Smith are too sour for my taste, but with the addition of caramel sauce, I don't want to risk that the pie is too sweet for anyone else! (it could never been too sweet for me :) Thanks in advance!

      Hi Amanda, You could definitely use HoneyCrisp apples in this pie, they're my favorite too. :-) I actually like to use a mix of different apples and often go with Granny Smith and HoneyCrisp or another firm variety. If you're worried about the caramel making it too sweet you can always serve it on the side. I hope you enjoy the pie!
