I also had a jar of caramel sauce, from a gift basket I won at work so many months ago and this was the perfect way to put it to use.
So I quickly whipped up my own batch of homemade caramel sauce and added it in.
Then I got to making the top layer. Normally this calls for using rolled oats, but the rebellious chef in me decided to use the Granola my crunchy Betty husband bought.
Some people like to press half of this mixture into the bottom of the pie pan to make a crust, but I used it all on top of the apples.
Pop that bad boy into the oven and watch your home turn into apple/vanilla smelling heaven!
I have a weird obsession with watching caramel bubble and staring at the gooey rivers that run through
