The pie turned out amazing!
My dad would make this pie. I was overjoyed to find the recipe and make this pie in honor of him .
Awesome
About cooking the caramels: cook these over low heat, and stir them almost constantly. If you don’t, they can burn and stick. Remove the pan immediately from heat as soon as the caramels are almost melted. When I baked the pie the entire middle was completely uncooked and oozed all over the place. I think the heat should be 350, not 325.
It’s a delicious pie. Is is that it needs a 10 inch pie pan mind overflowed.
It was to sweet.
Very good as written – I used a pre-made graham cracker crust.
I followed directions exactly and it was wonderful!
Great pie! I will definitely make again, but I would like it a little bit sweeter and some extra caramel. I served it with ice cream and it was a hit!
Easy to prepare and everyone loved it!
Delicious and easy to prepare !!
