Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.


1 pastry crust for deep dish 9 inch pie (homemade or store bought)
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 cups apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup caramel topping
Crumb Topping
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup butter
For Crumb Topping: Stir together brown sugar, flour, rolled oats. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until topping is like course crumbs. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Add apple slices and gently toss until coated. Transfer apple mixture to the pie shell.
Sprinkle crumb topping over apple mixture. Place pie on a cookie sheet so the drippings do not drop into your oven. Cover edges of pie with aluminum foil.
Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for 25 minutes. Then remove foil and put back in for another 25 to 30 minutes without foil. Remove from oven.
Sprinkle pie with chopped pecans, then drizzle caramel on top. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy warm or at room temperature. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

This pie is awesome. I have people willing to pay me to make it. I used fresh apples from a local orchard (Golden Delicious) and it really does the trick!
