Method

Blend all streusel ingredients together until crumbly and set aside. Line a 9 inch pie pan with a bottom crust. Place one layer of apples in prepared shell. Spread on a layer of caramels and sprinkle with peanuts. Repeat with 2 more layers until shell is filled to top, ending with peanuts. Scatter on the streusel. Cover with top crust and flute edges. Make several slits on top of pie and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour or until golden. Let cool then sprinkle top with confectioners' sugar. Crust: Place flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut in shortening with a pastry blender until crumbly. Drizzle in water and stir with a fork until mixture holds together. Roll out half of crust on a lightly floured surface, or between 2 pieces of waxed paper. Ease pastry into 9 inch pie plate. Follow directions above for filling and finishing pie.
