Dulce de Leche Apple Pie

[heart_this] · Nov 29, 2009 · 35 Comments

Dulce de Leche Apple Pie

The reason that I was so enthusiastic about making the dulce de leche was that I had recently seen this recipe for a dulce de leche apple pie on The Cooking Photographer that looked so good. Caramel and apples go so well together and with the thought of a caramely dulce de leche apple pie there was no way that I could resist making it! With so many apples at the farmers market these days it was the perfect time to make the pie and I used a mixture of different types of those wonderful varieties of apples. This pie was pretty easy to make with you only needing to mix the apples, dulce de leche and a few other ingredients, assembling the pie and baking it. The hardest part is waiting for the pie to finish baking and then letting it cool while you are intoxicated with its heavenly aroma. The dulce de leche turned out amazingly well and it was very tempting to have seconds of dessert each night! The dulce de leche and apple flavour combination is just as good as the caramel and apple combo and I look forward to using this combo again! Of course I served the dulce de leche apple pie with a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.

    Delicious isn't it! Takes the humble apple pie to a new level. Started making these a couple of months ago for a restaurant. Rather than boiling the condensed milk in the tin I boil up 3.15kg condensed milk, 750g dark brown sugar & 750g butter. That's enough for 96 people though – you probably want to convert it to US/ Canadian measurments & scale it down 🙂

    Only found the essential addition of cornflour a couple of weeks ago – soaks up the juice from the apples as the pie cooks.

    I had no idea that dulce de leche was just condensed milk that had simmered for a long time!

    That looks fantastic!

    I've been craving apple pie… did you find the dulce de leche overly sweet? I like desserts, but don't usually like things that are REALLY really sweet.
    I imagine that the tartness of the apples would help to balance it?
    Another great post, Kevin!

    Allison Arevalo: I uses some spies and some honey crisp apples in this apple pie.

    meaghan: I did not find it overly sweet. You are right the the tart and juicy apples balanced the sweetness of the dulce de leche nicely.

    Here in buenos aires we eat apples with dollops of dulce de leche. Banana slices also. It´s an easy dessert that´s been around for ages.
    Should try banana cream pie with a layer of dulce de leche..

    I made this pie a few weeks ago and we really liked it. I used the canned dulce de leche by Nestle and used the remaining stirred into my coffee and on some vanilla gelato. I used Cortland apples.
