This year has been anything but normal.
The holidays are approaching and it’s time to enjoy the season! With fall here there are many activities we all look forward to, pumpkin patches, apple picking, Halloween movies, and baking! Baking is a classic way to enjoy the season’s best flavours.
Who doesn’t love a good pie recipe? Here are some baking ideas for you to try!

2. Caramel Apple Pie – my mouth is watering just typing this!
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
*Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Ingredients and directions for filling:
1 unbaked pie crust (premade) or you can use your own pie crust recipe
6 cups sliced apples (a reason to go apple picking)
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Ingredients
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter or coconut oil
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
Directions for filling: Combine the apples, brown sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Place in a crust.
Directions for topping: Combine all the topping ingredients with your fingers until crumbly. Sprinkle the crumbles on top of the apples.
Bake for 45 minutes. Watch the top. Throw a piece of foil on top if it starts getting too brown.
To make the caramel, combine the sugar and corn syrup in a saucepan. Cook, stirring often until you get a deep brown colour. Remove from heat and add butter, cream, and vanilla one at a time. If you have trouble getting it to dissolve, return it to the heat for a minute. When the pie and the caramel are cool, pour caramel your topping over the pie.
