List of Ingredients
Double-Crust Pastry (10-inch pie)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 medium tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced (8 cups)
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons half-and-half Recipe
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Make Double-Crust Pastry (10-inch pie). Mix granulated sugar, 2/3 cup of the pecans, the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in large bowl. Toss with apples. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over apples. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate.
Roll other round of pastry. Fold into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Unfold top pastry over filling; trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute as desired. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning; remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.
Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust. Mix brown sugar, remaining 1/3 cup pecans and the half-and-half in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted. Spread over hot pie. Serve warm. Makes 8 servings
