Ingredients
- 9 or 10-inch double pastry crust, prepared and rolled
- 6 to 8 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Topping:
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 6 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 4 tablespoons softened butter
- 1/4 cup walnut halves
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place bottom crust in large deep-dish pie pan. Fill bottom crust with sliced apples. Combine ingredients in sauce mixture and pour evenly over apples. Combine ingredients for topping mixture. Put about 1/2 cup of the topping mixture on top of the apples and sauce mixture. Cover with top crust. Make several slits for steam. Bake for 45 minutes or until apples are tender and juices are bubbling. Remove from oven. Spread the rest of the topping mixture over the warm pie, being careful not to break the crust. Return to oven for 10 minutes or until topping is bubbly. Make sure you don't overcook, or the nuts could burn. Remove from oven and let cool completely before cutting.

This pie is a little bit of work, and a little bit of mess, but incredible. I make it every year for Thanksgiving, and the topping and sauce make it really something special. Definitely put a baking tray under your pie plate, and perhaps line that with aluminum foil. The sauce will drip down and make a mess. Also, watch out when eating what falls on that aluminum, my dad snitched some last year and lost a crown. It is still totally worth it, and I'm about to make this year's pie!

I actually made this recipe about 4 years ago when the channel first aired the little girl making this pie. It looked so good I had to try it. I haven't made it since only because I live in the middle of nowhere but it was out of this world. I am now soon to be married and am particularly excited about making this pie this winter season. You really need to have a baking pan under it or a really deep pie pan or cut back on the syrup though. It really does make a sticky pain in the keister mess to clean up in the oven! For anyone with a really determined mind set try making your own pie crust. It really is so much better than the prefabricated kind you get out of the store. This pie also pares up well with a pumpkin pie made the old fashioned way. THAT is an all american line up for the christmas season.

Before I made this apple pie, I did not like apple pie. My husband didn't like apple pie either. For some reason, I gave the recipe a try after seeing it on TV. I have been making it for years!!!!! I get soooo many compliments on it every single time I make it. I saw that some people said it was messy, but I didn't find it messy. Just make sure you put the pie on a pan in the oven to preven spills. I love, love, love this apple pie. It is really not all that hard to make. I wish I could find out if Kendra had any other receipes she was working on.
