Yummy and pretty easy to make. It also has two layers of crust, which is definitely a perk for me. I know I should be ashamed of using a store-bought pie crust with a mom like mine, but oh well. Someday I'll master the pie crust like Suzy.
Ingredients
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 (15 0z) package refrigerated piecrusts, divided
4 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 large Jonagold apples, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 375. Stir together first 3 ingredients, and spread onto bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Fit 1 piecrust over pecan mixture in pie plate, allowing excess crust to hang over sides.
2. Stir together Granny Smith apples and next 5 ingredients. Spoon mixture into crust, packing tightly and mounding in center. Place remaining piecrust over filling; press both crusts together, fold edges under, and crimp. Place pie on a foil-lined jelly-roll pan. Cut 4 to 5 slits in top of pie for steam to escape.
3. Bake at 375 on lower oven rack 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until juices are thick and bubbly, crust is golden brown, and apples are tender when pierced with a long wooden pick through slit in crust. Shield pie with foil after 50 minutes, if necessary, to prevent excessive browning. Cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Place a serving plater over top of pie; invert pie onto serving plate. Remove pie plate, and replace any remaining pecans in pie plate on top of pie. Let cool completely (about 1 hour).
