    List of Ingredients




    Crust:
    2 cups unbleached flour
    2/3 cup shortening
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 cup finely crushed pecans
    1/2 cup cold cider

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare crust by cutting shortening into flour and salt until particles are the size of giant peas. Mix in pecans; sprinkle dough with cider and mix gently until dough holds together. Divide dough into 2 balls and roll out.

    Filling:
    7 firm, juicy, tart apples
    1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 cup raisins
    1/2 cup diced candied fruit
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon cold butter

    Topping:
    1 egg yolk
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    1 tablespoon sugar

    Pare, core, and slice apples, and toss them with spices, sugar, raisins, candied fruit, and lemon juice. Put filling into bottom crust and dot with butter. Cover with top crust and make slits in it. Brush top crust with egg yolk and dust with cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
