Ok, I confess, I have a sweet tooth (my dentist loves me) and dessert is my favorite part of the meal.
This has to be the most decadent and the richest pie I ever make and the easiest ever, throw a couple of cans in the crock pot and in 8 hours what emerges from those cans is truly magic!
This is copycat recipe for a Caramel Pie you can find at a famous restaurant chain that starts with an O’
Ingredients:
- 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 graham cracker pie crust
Instructions:
- Remove the label from the sweetened condensed milk.
- Place both cans in a crock pot and cover completely with water.
- Cook in the cans on low for 8 hours.
- Remove from the crock pot and cool.
- Open cans and pour out into the graham cracker pie crust.
- Keep refrigerated.
- Garnish with whipped topping and slivered almonds, chopped nuts, whatever you like.
Notes
Rich....this pie is very rich. A small slice will do you.
Throw in an extra can and you have caramel dip for apples or a topping for ice cream!
*This makes a pie filling that is about the consistency of pudding it does not make a caramel that can be sliced individually or used for caramel apples.

Ok, I’m here from It’s Fall Y’All linky party and I just have to say. When you use the words “magic” and “caramel” and “pie” all together how could I help but click on it and hop over here. What’s the one other word you could add that would make it even better? “easy”. Wow, thanks for this one.
Thank you so much for stopping by! This is super easy and heavenly!

Wow this pie is definitely one of the yummiest we can have and I am just hoping I can bake this on my own because when I travel to different places, I get some different spices or ingredients which can help n my cooking and baking hobbies. It will be so much fun to bake something for my family and even friends.
I’ve had 2 graham cracker pie shells in the cabinet for a couple weeks, just wondering what to do with them. This is it!!!! Great idea!! Thanks!
you can also put banannas in bottom of crust before you pour in caramel.
Oh, bananas sound wonderful. I will have to try that next time.
I assume you set the crock pot on high?
never mind, lol… just saw it is low… I am definitely going to make this!
You set the crock pot to low for 8 hours. Thank you for visiting my blog.
I have made this pie for yrs. but I cook the milk in a dutch oven. I cover the cans with water and let them simmer for 4 hrs. I have always been able to slice the pie when they are cooked like this.
You can slice the pie but you can’t slice it and wrap it to be individual caramel candies, it’s not that kind of caramel was what I was trying to say.
when I was making this pie for my family decades ago, I also used a dutch oven for caramelizing the milk, and sliced bananas onto the pie crust and added chopped nuts before adding the milk. It seems that the bananas actually cut a little of the sugary taste to make it just a tad less super rich, but yummy
Thank you Rachel I will have to try that next time! Sounds so good!
I put the two cans in last night and it cook on low for eight hours and when I opened the cans, they still look like condensed milk. Did I let them cool too long? Definitely doesn’t look like caramel. HELP!!!
No, cooling it does not turn it back into condensed milk. The milk has to get to a specific temperature before it turns to the caramel so I’m going to say that your crock pot didn’t get hot enough.
I think this one looks so good, but I love anything with caramel! especially this time of year! would you come link it up to my recipe link up? I’d be honored! ~~katie

Forget the pie crust. Call a friend and get out two spoons. Yum!
