6 c Apple slices -- thin
1/2 c Sugar
1/4 c Brown sugar -- packed
1/2 c Gingersnap cookies -- crushed

Line a 9" pie pan with the bottom crust.
Place half of the thinly sliced apples in the crust; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine sugars, gingersnaps, cinnamon, nuts, and
butter; sprinkle half over apples in crust. Top with remaining apples
and sugar mixture.
Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie. Cut a few slits in

small saucepan.
Remove pie from oven; remove foil and brush hot syrup over pie and
