The dough should combine into a slight ball once combine. Put dough in a pan and use your fingers to press dough around evenly throughout the pan, pressing the dough higher on the sides to create a boat for the caramel to go later. Poke holes with a fork in the dough to keep it from rising in the oven
• Bake crust for 18-20 minutes, until golden brown. Remove then let crust cool for about 10-20 minutes.
• While caramel is cooling, place a large saute pan over medium heat. Add ghee, diced apples, apple pie spice and caramel and let cook and soften for about 10-15 minutes, tossing every couple minutes, until soft and brown.
• Use a large spoon to scoop about ¼-1/3 cup of the caramel sauce in the middle of the crust. Then scoop all the apples onto the caramel crust and use a spoon the add a bit more caramel on top. Place in oven to bake for 15 minutes.
• Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from quiche pan, garnish with powdered sugar and mint leaves then slice before serving.*
