Instructions

Peanut Pie Crust

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF. In a food processor place peanuts, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pulse until nuts are ground into a course meal. Add cold butter and pulse until pea-sized crumbs form. Slowly drizzle in cold water and mix until dough starts to clump together.

Step 2

Pour into a deep dish pie pan. Press with fingers on bottom and up sides. Place pie plate in freezer for 10 minutes. Remove from freezer and prick with a fork 5-6 times on bottom of crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bottom is baked. Set aside to cool completely.

Salted Caramel

Step 3

Place sugar in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium heat. Use a wooden or silicone spoon to stir constantly. Sugar will clump up, turn brown, and eventually melt into an amber brown liquid. Be sure to stir constantly so it doesn't burn.

Step 4

Add the butter after all the sugar has melted. Stir vigorously until butter has melted and it is incorporated with the sugar.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in heavy cream. Mixture will rapidly boil, so be careful. Stir and boil for 1 minute.

Step 6

Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 cup of peanuts. Cool for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Apple Filling

Step 7

Meanwhile make sautéed apple filling. In a large nonstick skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced apples and sauté, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes, or until apples are soft. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Set aside to cool.

Step 8

When crust and apples are cooled completely, pour apples on bottom of pie crust. Pour on cooled caramel layer on top. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until caramel hardens.

Homemade Nougat

Step 9

Combine marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Combine with wooden spoon or electric mixer on low speed to thoroughly mixed. Everything will come together into a stiff ball.

Step 10

Spread out nougat over cooled caramel layer. Use fingers to flatten and shape over the caramel. Set aside.

Chocolate Topping

Step 11

Place chocolate and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for about 1 minute, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted. Smooth on top of nougat. Garnish top with chopped snickers bars or additional peanuts. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until chocolate is set.
