Brown betty a la mode, a caramel apple brown betty pie with vanilla ice cream.
https://alltheflavors.com/recipes/120926
I approached this recipe by layering the profile into the separate components: fruit, pastry, caramel sauce and ice cream. I tried very hard to keep the number of ingredients to a minimum. Perhaps I need a more diverse stash?
Fruit: I wanted a sweet, sticky cooked apple component without it being too bright; I used apple fuji and apple pie together with a touch of pear and dragonfruit to mellow it down.
Pastry: I decided that the notes I wanted for the sweet pastry/crumble could be achieved with sugar cookie and Graham cracker. I used Graham cheesecake to add a sweetness to it, and the wafer in the lucky shot creates a bridge to the next layer.
Caramel sauce: the caramel in the lucky shot is rounded out by english toffee and dulce de leche. I was thinking of a thick, sweet caramel sauce or even custard to this part, which is helped by the Devon cream and custard premium.
Vanilla ice cream: I wanted to get a feeling of a melting scoop of ice cream sat on top of the pie. TPA VBIC does the job very nicely together with the Devon cream and custard. The marshmallow rounds it all out with a rich sweetness.

I am sure that plenty of substitutions could be made for just as successful a recipe. I would be interested to hear about them.
Give it a mix, steep for at least a week (I would suggest 3 actually) and let me know what you think!
(edit: sorry, posting from phone and recipe format not working. Also, didn't know I could add flair and now can't remove 'Recipe:' from the title)
I'd personally recommend JF Dulce de Leche.
Have you tried the tpa in this recipe and didn’t like it as well or it’s just your preference in general? I think he/she was wanting recommendations of what worked better in this recipe. Tpa ddl might work just fine in this recipe and JF in another, or JF better here but did you even mix this up and try it? There’s a lot of ingredients here but it also looks like a job well done. I wish I had everything to make it but I don’t so I won’t recommend anything but I will say thanks for the share and the hard work and I look forward to your next and hopefully I can mix it....;)
Thank you very much! I appreciate it is a complex recipe and I suppose I came to it with the luxury of a pretty good collection.
The DDL in this is just part of the caramel profile/layer I tinkered with for this mix (and not a very big part) - you can mix any of the layer sections as separate recipes and they all pretty much do what I was looking for.
Would be happy to try and develop something for you based on your stash - let me know what you have and what you like!
