Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

3. Spread the mixture into a layer, and roll out dough. Place bottom crust over pecan mixture.
4. Combine apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg, and pour into the pan with the crust and mixture. Put the second crust over this. Flute and seal edges. Make three one-inch slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
