    • Place pie on a rimmed baking sheet, cover the edges of the pie crust with foil and place in the middle of the oven.
    • Bake for about 20 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375 and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes or until the filling is bubbly and the top crust is lightly browned.
    • After the pie is cooled, heat up some of the caramel sauce and drizzle it over the top of the pie.
