2 Pie crust -- may be frozen as
1 Apple pie; recipe -- your fav
1/2 cup Pecans -- whole
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup 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 degrees for
exactly 50 min. Cool for 5 min. 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 min. 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.
