2 Pie crust -- may be frozen
1 Apple pie recipe --
- your favorite
1/2 c Pecans
1/2 c Butter
1/2 c Brown sugar
In this recipe, it is the construction that is important.
Get the apples and spices ready for your favorite 9" pie. Prepare or
buy 2 pie crusts. Now get your pie pan ready. My daughter uses a
pyrex pie pan. Butter the pie pan completely, and well. Don't miss a
spot. Use the entire 1/2 cup of butter and get the sides too.
Place the pecans in the bottom of the pie pan, and sprinkle with the
brown sugar. Now, put your bottom pie crust on top of the pecans. In
fact, forget that they (the pecans) are there. Just proceed with your
apple pie, as usual, with one exception. You don't want a bulging
pie, kinda firm and flat.
When you have both crusts sealed and fluted, bake at 400°F for
exactly 50 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on a rack and turn out on a
serving dish immediately. When you do this, you are flipping it over
so that the pecans are on the top, and the usual top of the pie is on
the bottom.
This recipe is my daughter, Lois's. She says that you must flip it
out after 5 minutes or the butter and sugar will harden and you won't
get it out. Let me tell you it is always a hit and people are
astounded. The combination of the sugar, pecans, and apple pie are
delicious. You should keep your apple pie filling on the tart side. I
hope you enjoy this as much as we do.
Note:
I know that this is not a deep dish apple pie, but this is our
Thanksgiving specialty and I hope you will all enjoy this.
