Caramel Nut Apple Pie

This 4 1/2 pound ten inch pie is made with late harvested Northern Spy apples, baked with butter crumb topping, then covered with a whole pound of all natural caramel, whole jumbo roasted and salted cashews, giant pecan halves (not broken bits and pieces) and roasted salted peanuts. This pie is wonderful slightly warmed and served with vanilla ice cream.

Wendy and Dave Achatz have been concocting some of the nation’s best pies since 1993, when they started baking in their Victorian home in Armada, Michigan. After moving the operation nearby to a ten-acre apple orchard, Achatz Handmade Pie Co. was officially born. Many of their recipes have been passed through generations, and they continue the tradition by sharing the same handmade techniques instilled from childhood.
