Tips: If chocolate chips are too thick and won’t drizze, stir in a little bit of Crisco to make them more liquid OR use 1 tbsp milk or a little more as needed, then whip w/ fork. Use fork to drizzle over cereal mix.

Thanksgiving
The trick to this pie is cutting the sugared and spiced granny smith apples into thin slices and spiraling them in the deep-dish pie shell. Then they’re topped w/ a crumb topping and baked.

“great!”

It’s worth using good-quality caramel sauce, such as Fat Toad Farm Goat’s Milk Caramel. If your blender doesn’t hold 2 quarts, process the flan in two batches. The cake needs to chill for at least 8 hours before you can unmold it.

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS:
This hybrid dessert has a layer of chocolate cake and a layer of caramel-coated flan that “magically” switch places as they bake. For ease, we started with a simple dump-and-stir chocolate cake recipe. At first, the flan added too much moisture to the cake, making it soggy. A drier cake was key, and removing some of the buttermilk and sugar did the trick. To help our flan stand tall rather than slump when sliced, we use whole eggs (instead of just yolks) and add cream cheese as a stabilizer. We opted for store-bought caramel sauce to top it all off—much easier than homemade.
