  • ½ cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup margarine melted
  • 1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
  • 6 cups Granny Smith apples - peeled cored and sliced
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Peeler and corer
  • Knife and chopping board
  • Oven
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a 9-inch pie dish with the bottom crust from your pastry.
    A 9-inch white ceramic pie dish is being carefully lined with a pastry crust on a clean white marble countertop. The edges of the dough hang slightly over the rim, ready to cradle the flavorful apple and pecan filling. This step is essential for creating a firm, buttery base for the pie.
  3. In a bowl, mix sliced apples with white sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
    Granny Smith apple slices are being mixed with white sugar, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large glass mixing bowl set on a white marble countertop. The apples are peeled, cored, and sliced evenly to ensure a tender and flavorful filling with a perfect balance of sweet and spiced notes.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix chopped pecans, brown sugar, and melted margarine.
    Chopped pecans, packed brown sugar, and melted margarine are being stirred together in a clear glass mixing bowl placed on a white marble countertop. This sweet and nutty mixture will be spread over the apple filling to create a golden, crunchy topping that perfectly complements the tender apple center of the pie.
  6. Spread the pecan topping evenly over the apples.
    The apple pecan pie is placed inside a preheated oven at 350°F, where it will bake for 45 minutes until the crust is golden and the apples are tender. The pecan topping caramelizes beautifully during baking, infusing the pie with warm, nutty sweetness and creating a delightful texture contrast.
  7. Bake for 45 minutes or until the top is golden and the apples are tender.
  8. Let it cool slightly before serving warm.
