  • 2 In 10-inch skillet, mix 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons butter; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Add apples; cook uncovered 12 to 15 minutes or until apples are tender. Drain; set aside.
  • 3 In medium microwavable bowl, microwave caramels and half-and-half uncovered on High about 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute, until mixture is smooth.

Stir half (about 1/2 cup) of the caramel mixture into the apples; pour into pie. Mix pecans and chocolate chips; reserve 2 tablespoons for topping. Sprinkle remaining pecan mixture over apples. Fold remaining caramel mixture into cream cheese mixture, and spread over pecan mixture.

I loved this pie! The only thing I will do differently next time, is not do the whipped topping part. (I don't really like whipped topping!) I have shared it with others.

The apple filling calls for 1/4 cup of brown sugar and the caramel-cream cheese filling calls for 1/2 cup of brown sugar, so while the total of brown sugar needed for the recipe is 3/4 cup, it's divided between the two fillings. Hope that helps. :)

ingredients call for 1/2 cup brown sugar. Mix 1/4 c with apples, Then later use 1/2 cup. So should the ingredients be 3/4 c. brown sugar?
