Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts for 9 inch pies (or your favorite homemade pie dough)
  • 6 tablespoons butter (melted, divided)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 8 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 to 3 teaspoons milk or water

Instruction

  • Line a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate with aluminum foil, leaving the extra foil hanging beyond the edge of the pan. Coat the foil with cooking spray. Combine 4 tablespoons melted butter, brown sugar and pecans; spoon into prepared pie plate.
  • In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and remaining butter. Mix together gently.
  • Place one pie crust over nut mixture, pressing firmly against mixture and sides of plate. Cut off excess pie dough, but leave about 1 inch of dough beyond plate edge. Fill the pie dough with apple mixture.
  • Place the remaining pie dough over the filling. Cut off the excess dough to 1/4 an inch beyond pan edge. Fold the bottom crust over top crust; seal and flute edges. Cut four 1-in. slits in top crust.
  • Bake at 375° for 50-55 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. If necessary, cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil for the last 15-20 minutes to prevent them from getting too brown.
  • Cool the pie for 15 minutes on a wire rack. Invert it onto a serving platter and carefully remove the foil. Combine the powdered sugar and water, then drizzle the glaze over top the pie.
