Funky Fall Fun!

I love our new fall blog, Jaimee! You did it AGAIN! Wow! Thanks for some funky fall fun girl!!!

Now, here's something fun and fallish... My Mom made the best praline topping for homemade apple pies! When she had to make a desert in a jiffy, this is a great cheater thing to do... ;)


Praline Apple Pie

1 Mrs. Smith Deep Dish Apple Pie, frozen (see, this is the cheater part of it!)
1/4 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted (optional, of course!)

Remove plastic from frozen pie, cut slits in top, place on aluminum foil lined baking sheet and bake at 375 for 1 hour. Shield with aluminum foil for the next 20-30 mins of bake time to total the time at: 1 hour 20 ish minutes.
Cool for 1 hour.
Bring butter, brown sugar and whipping cream to a boil in a 2 qt saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in vanilla and powdered sugar until it's smooth (this might take you a bit!).
Pour praline mixture slowly over pie, spreading to cover.
Top with pecans if you'd like.

ENJOY!
