Pecan Apple Crumb Pie Recipe

pecan apple crumb pie

From blackpondoutfitters 15 years ago

I don't remember where I got this recipe - I have had it a long time but it is a family fav! Particularly good with homemade vanilla ice cream

THE CRUST
cut shortening into flour and salt mixture - I use two knives for this but you can also use a pastry hook and mixer (remember, the more you "work" the four the tougher your crust will be) - it should resemble a course meal when done
add water and gently combine to make a dough and refrigerate 45 min - 1 hour until firm
Preheat the oven to 375.
On floured surface, roll out the dough and place into a 9-inch pie plate
trim the overhanging dough to 1/2-3/4 inch. Fold the dough under and crimp the edge - return to refrigerator until ready to add filling
MAKE THE FILLING/TOPPING
In a bowl mix the brown sugar into the flour until just blended.
Work in the softened butter with a fork until the mixture becomes crumbly
set aside
wash, peel, core and chunk up apples (1-1.5 inch chunks)
In a large bowl, toss the apple chunks with the granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt.
Add the melted butter and then the cornstarch mixture and mix well.
transfer the apple filling mix into the chilled pie
shell and spread the crumbly topping over the apples.
sprinkle the pecans pieces on top or you can place pecan halves over the crumb topping
bake the pie for about 45-50 minutes or until lightly browned
on top and bubbling around the edges. If the crust flutes/edges seem to be browning to quickly you can cover them with foil
Transfer to a rack and let cool slightly, then serve warm with ice cream or cold
NOTE: the crust and topping can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
