Apple Pie With A Sea Salt Caramel Apple Granola Crust

They knew something was up when I arrived home with apples and Bear Naked’s Sea Salt Caramel Apple Granola from my shopping trip at BJ’s Wholesale Club!

I love that they carry some of my favorite items in bulk making it so much more convenient and a better value to always have extra at home because I know I will be making this recipe all fall for family and friends!

I purchased all of the ingredients needed to create this easy and Simple Apple Pie with Sea Salt Caramel Apple Granola Crust to celebrate the beginning of fall.

Ingredients Needed For Apple Pie and Crust

• 1 bag of Bear Naked’s Sea Salt Caramel Apple Granola
• 4 tablespoons of butter
• 4 apples peeled and cubed
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour (gluten-free would work too)
• 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon of salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon

How To Make An Apple Pie Crust

• In a food processor or blender pour a bag of Bear Naked’s newest Sea Salt Caramel Apple Granola, leaving just a little bit on the side for the topping. 
• Melt four out of your five tablespoons of butter in a microwavable bowl. 

• Pour your butter into your sea salt caramel apple granola crumbs. Mix together with a fork until everything is combined.
• In your pie dish go ahead and pour your crumbs, which will now become your crust. Use a fork to even everything out, but finish up using your hands so that you can make sure it’s nice and flat, plus the edges are high enough to hold the apples. 
• Refrigerate your crust while you make your apple mixture.

I used Bear Naked Sea Salt Caramel Apple Granola because it tastes divine and full of fall flavors all on its own, so I knew that it would be the perfect crust for my apple pie!

I also wished I would have shared pictures of the crust because it really was perfect!

How To Make Apple Pie Filling

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
• Peel and cube 5 apples.
• Over the apples pour your sugar, flour, nutmeg, salt, and cinnamon. Mix everything together until combined.

• Pour your apples on your crust. 
• Cover the edges of your pie crust around with a bit of tin foil. This will keep your crust from turning too dark or burning. I did it halfway through baking and it’s a little harder to do when the pot is very hot, so I suggest doing it beforehand. It won’t change the cooking time because you are just protecting the edges from getting burnt.
• Bake your pie for about 30 minutes or until the apples are nice and soft. This is when a taste tester always comes in handy! In my case my hubby.
• Once your pie is ready go ahead and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to set before cutting.
• While it sets, go ahead and pour the remaining Bear Naked Sea Salt Caramel Apple Granola over your apple pie.

The first thing my hubby did this morning was get himself a slice to eat with his morning coffee!

Well, he’s actually done this the past few mornings, but he says he just loves it!

He said that the taste of the crust with sweet caramel, tangy apple, and sea salt is the perfect combination!

Especially for getting into the fall season here in Florida where it’s still hot.

You can bet that I will be fueling and bringing some fall to our next get-together with this yummy Simple Apple Pie with Bear Naked’s Sea Salt Caramel Apple Granola.
