Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a ramekin on the bottom and sides. (If you don’t have a ramekin, use a small metal, oven-safe glass, or ceramic container.) Trim a portion of room temperature pre-made pie crust to overlap the top of the baking container; set aside.
  2. Mix together the apple pieces, spices, salt, sugar, and flour. Fill the buttered ramekin to the brim, and even a little above the top edge, with the apple mixture (the apples will sink a little as they bake). Break the pat of butter into four pieces and top the apple mixture. Sprinkle the pecans on top.
  3. Lay the crust on top of the ramekin. Creating a fancy edging is optional or cut the pie crust in a square and let it overlap the edges for a rustic look. Be sure to slice two or three small slits in the crust so the steam can escape. Sprinkle a pinch of sugar on top of the crust.
  4. Bake this cute little pie for approx. 20 minutes at 350 degrees and then 10–15 minutes at 375 degrees until the crust is golden brown. Take out of the oven and cool for about 15 minutes before eating. Drizzle caramel sauce on top while it’s still warm.
