Ingredients

• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ⅓ cup chopped pecans
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup
• 1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
• 4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie crusts, and set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice; set aside.

Step 2

Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, butter and corn syrup; spread in bottom of a 9 inch pie dish (glass or ceramic works best). Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cover with one pie crust. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.

Step 3

Arrange half of the apples in pastry lined plate. Sprinkle with half the brown sugar mixture. Repeat layers. Cover with remaining pie crust, fold top edge under, and crimp. Cut a few slits in the top to vent steam.

Step 4

Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes. Loosen edge of pie, and carefully invert pie onto a serving dish. Serve warm.
