SALTED CARAMEL CASHEW PIE is a rich combination of sweet and salty you’ll crave!
We’re kind of crazy about caramel in our house. Pretty much any candy with caramel in it and we’re sold. Needless to say, we couldn’t wait to dive into this salted caramel cashew pie. The caramel softens the nuts just the right amount, not so hard that they’re super crunchy, and not so soft that they seem like mush. And, of course, I used my foolproof pie crust recipe. It really makes this pie stand out, and is flaky and perfect every time, no matter how much you handle it.
I’m not one to bake pies very often, but, when the holidays roll around, it’s just something I’m compelled to do. One of my favorite pies to make is my mother-in-law’s pineapple cream pie. She gave me the recipe several years ago, and I make it for all of our special occasions. This salted caramel pie was so good, though, it’s definitely on the holiday dessert list!
Just look at all that gooey caramel oozing off the crust and onto the plate. I may have licked my fingers once or twice while making this fabulous pie
