Title: Apple Pecan Pie
Categories: Pies
Yield: 8 Servings

-----------------------------------CRUST-----------------------------------
2 1/2 c Flour; sifted
1/2 c Sugar
2 Eggs
1 ts Baking powder
2 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Butter

----------------------------------FILLING----------------------------------
2 c Apples; thinly sliced
1/2 c Brown sugar
1/4 c Dark molasses
3 tb Brandy (cognac)
3 Eggs
1 c Pecans; chopped
1/4 c Butter
1/4 c Light corn syrup
2 tb Lemon juice
1/4 ts Nutmeg

Crust:

Sift four & baking powder together. Make a well in center and in it
put the sugar, vanilla and eggs. Mix in some of the flour from the
sides to form a paste.

Cut the butter into small pieces and put around the top of the
paste. Cover with the rest of the flour and knead all ingredients
until the dough is smooth.

Divide the dough into two balls and refrigerate, covered until
dough is cool and firm enough to handle.

Roll out as usual and line the bottom of a 10" pie plate. You can
cover the bottom with grated cheese, if desired.

Filling:

Cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a
time. Stir in the molasses, corn syrup, brandy, and lemon juice.
Add the apples and pecans and mix thoroughly. Pour into a pastry
lined 10" pie plate. Sprinkle with nutmeg over all. Top with a
lattice crust and bake at 350?F until crust is golden brown and
filling is bubbly, about 35 to 45 minutes.

Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
