Pie Crust:

Crust 16.5 oz.refrigerated sugar cookie dough
½ cup flour

Lightly spray a 10 in. spring form pan or a pan similar to that size with an edge. Mix the cookie dough and flour in a bowl until combined well. Press into bottom of the pan and go up the side of the pan about ¾ inch. Make sure it’s completely covered with no holes.

Pie Filling:

2 ½ lbs apples , peeled cored and sliced thin
(Honey crisp or Granny Smith)
½ cup sugar

1/8 cup flour
1 ½ t Apple Pie Spice
1 ¼ cups caramel topping

Pie Topping:

1 cup flour
½ cup brown sugar packed
½ cup sugar

1 t. vanilla
1 ½ t. apple pie spice
½ cup butter

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a mixing bowl toss the apples with sugar, flour and apple pie spice and then turn into the prepared crust and carefully spread out evenly. Drizzle ¾ cup caramel topping over the apple mixture. Cover with aluminum foil and cook for about 45 minutes. While the pie is baking, combine flour, brown sugar, sugar, vanilla and apple pie spice. Then cut in the butter mixture and mix until it forms a wet crumb mixture. Remove pie from oven and take off the foil. Sprinkle crumb mixture over the warm pie. Put back in the oven and do not cover. Continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes or until topping is lightly browned. Allow the pie to cool and then remove spring form pan sides. When ready to serve slice the pie and then drizzle with additional caramel topping.
