Ingredients
Apple Pie
- 1 Marie Callendar’s Dutch Apple Pie prepared according to package instructions
Pumpkin Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup store bought hot caramel sauce
- ¼ cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie: Follow the package instructions on the Marie Callendar’s Dutch Apple Pie to bake the pie, typically involving preheating the oven and baking for the recommended time until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
- Make the Pumpkin Caramel Sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the store-bought hot caramel sauce, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and heated through, ensuring the spices are fully incorporated.
- Serve: Once the apple pie is baked and slightly cooled, drizzle the warm pumpkin caramel sauce generously over each slice before serving for an indulgent fall-inspired dessert.
Notes
- Use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and texture of the sauce.
- Store any leftover pumpkin caramel sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week; reheat gently before serving.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts on top of the sauce when serving.
- Make sure the caramel sauce is warm but not boiling to prevent separation.
