Caramel Pecan Apple Pie

With piles of local, Manchester apples coming in, everyone is wondering what to make! And with the taste of this Halloween's mill-porch carmel apples fresh on our tongues, what could be better than this wonderful twist to the classic apple pie. This recipe won first place at the Texas State Fair about ten years ago. It should be served warm, of course, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side!

8 med apples, peeled, cored & sliced
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 tsp butter flavoring
3/4 cup sugar
