Imagine a delicious apple pie with caramel, a delightful temptation you can't get enough of. The sweet sandy base, creamy caramel layer, and sweet apple pieces are a great combination. This is a delicious treat that melts on your tongue. So enjoyable.
Apple Pie with Dulce de Leche
My husband is an apple pie lover. I bet I can wake him up in the middle of the night for that (I haven't tried that yet, but don't bring me on any ideas 😉). And that's why I regularly make apple pie.
Such as a classic Dutch apple pie (like Grandma Bakes) or a custard apple pie, which is wonderfully fresh. And this apple pie with dulce de leche, which you can easily make yourself from condensed milk, is also a pie that I will bake more often.
Toffee Apple Pie with Dulce de Leche
I made this cake for my birthday, and everyone got a smile on their face when I served the pieces. The caramel and apple formed an irresistible combination, with the sweetness of the caramel and the fresh apple.
The cake plates were returned cleared, and my guests asked if they could be served more often on birthdays. No problem at all; I'm happy to hear that! And, of course, I had to share this recipe with you.
I've adapted this recipe from Jamie Oliver.
