Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 25 caramel candies
• 1 ½ cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 3 large eggs
• Whipped cream and additional caramel sauce, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
3. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
4. Unwrap the caramel candies and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramels are melted and smooth.
5. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, milk, vanilla extract, and salt over medium heat until it begins to steam. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and brown sugar. Add the eggs to the bowl and whisk until smooth.
6. Slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the bowl with the cornstarch mixture, whisking constantly.
7. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to a pudding-like consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
8. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the melted caramel until well combined.
9. Pour the caramel filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
10. Once the pie is chilled and set, garnish it with whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce on top.
11. Serve the caramel pie chilled and enjoy!
