Ingredients

CRUST

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening (I use butter flavored Crisco)

1/4 cup ice water

FILLING & TOPPING

1/4 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

5 tablespoons butter, softened

2 pounds baking apples

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1/4 cup warm water mixed with 1 tablespoon cornstarch

1/3 cup coarsely chopped pecans or 3/4 cup pecan halves

Directions

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
