Butterscotch Apple Pie

Butterscotch Apple Pie is a dessert that brings back happy memories at Christmas. After a large meal, there was always room for a slice of pie. It wasn’t just a slice though, the toppings included peanut brittle, double cream, orange and lemon peel. This recipe uses a pre formed pie case but there are recipes on making pastry on this site.
