How to Make Caramel Apple Walnut Brownie Pie
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate with non-stick baking spray and set aside.
- In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add the melted chocolate and eggs to the butter mixture and continue beating until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the flour and salt. Slowly add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until the batter is smooth and combined.
- Using a wooden spoon, fold in the thinly sliced apple, 1/3 cup (80 ml) of caramel topping, and 1/2 cup (60 g) of chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pie plate. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean. Let it cool slightly.
- For the topping: Arrange slices of the second small apple in a fan shape on top of the pie. Sprinkle the remaining chopped walnuts over the apples. Drizzle 1/3 cup (80 ml) of caramel topping over the apple slices and the top of the pie.
