CARAMEL PEACH PIE (IMPROVED WITH THICK GEL)





Ingredients:
2 pie crusts (a top and a bottom)
3 cups peaches, sliced and peeled (may use 2 (16 oz.) bags of frozen peaches, defrosted)
½  teaspoons cinnamon
¼  teaspoon nutmeg
Splash lemon juice
½  cup sugar
8 tablespoons Thick Gel  or corn starch Where to Buy Thick GelAnother Online Retailer of Thick Gel
1 recipe caramel sauce*

Ingredients for Caramel Sauce*:
3 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter
½ cup powdered sugar
¼ cup THICK GEL

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Put the pie crust into a 9 inch pie pan.  With a fork, poke the pie crust in multiple places to avoid crust bubbles. (tip – as you are peeling and slicing your peaches, put the lemon juice in the bowl that you are placing the peaches in and stir as you add more slices)  Add all the ingredients, (except caramel sauce) into a large bowl and mix together.   Pour filling into the crust lined pie pan.  Pour the hot caramel sauce over the peaches.  Place the top pie crust over the pie and crimp the edges to seal the pie.  Cut some air vents if not using a ceramic pie bird to vent air.  Bake for 35 – 45 minutes in the preheated oven on 400 degrees F.  Check after 15 minutes…depending on your oven, turn down to 375 degrees F if the crust looks like it is getting too brown, too soon.  Let cool completely.  Serve with vanilla ice cream.

*Directions to Make Caramel Sauce:


In a medium  sauce pan, add all the Caramel Sauce ingredients.  Cook on low heat until ingredients are dissolvedTurn up to medium heat and bring to a boilBoil for 5 minutes (you are making caramel candy).  Do not let cool.
