Ingredients
•
1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
•
4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
•
1 tablespoon lemon juice
•
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
•
1 tablespoon butter, melted
•
1 tablespoon corn syrup
•
1/3 cup chopped pecans
•
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
•
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
•
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
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.
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.
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.

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.
