I made a disastrous apple pie last year and have been casting about for redemption, especially as it's my boyfriend's favorite. This recipe is pretty easy, and gives you a new option beyond the two crust / crumble top dialectic.
3 c. apples, peeled and chopped (this is the most labor intensive part. Once you're done, it's all downhill.)
Mix with 1/3 c. sugar
2 T. flour
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
Pour into a 9-inch pie shell and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile...combine
1/4 c. milk
2 T. butter
3 T. honey
1/2 c. brown sugar
Bring to a low boil in a saucepan. Let boil for one minute, then stir in
3/4 c. walnuts or pecans
This is your praline, and it smells fantastic. How could you go wrong with milk, butter, honey, and sugar? It's the promised land.
Remove pie from oven, turn temp to 350, pour praline mixture over it, and put back for 30 minutes. I noticed the walnuts beginning to get too toasted, so I put tin foil over the pie for the last 15 minutes.
