      Title: Ambrose' Passover Apple Pecan Pie
 Categories: Pies, Pastry, Fruits, Nuts
      Yield: 8 servings
 
      5    Ripe Granny Smith apples;
           - peeled, cored, chopped
    1/4 c  Butter; divided
    1/2 c  Applesauce
    1/3 c  White sugar
      5 tb Brown sugar; divided
  1 1/2 ts Cinnamon
      1 ts Vanilla
    1/4 ts Nutmeg
    1/2    Lemon; juiced
      3    Egg matzos; crushed into
           - large crumbs
      2 lg Eggs
    1/2 ts Salt
           Nonstick spray
    3/4 c  Fine chopped pecans
 
  Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.
  
  In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter or butter
  substitute. Add applesauce, white sugar, 2 tbsp brown
  sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice. Stir
  till well combined, then bring to a boil.
  
  Reduce heat to medium and add diced apples to pan. Stir
  apples till they are well coated with sugar mixture.
  Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for exactly 8
  minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not overcook. Uncover
  apples at the end of cooking and remove from heat; allow
  to cool.
  
  Meanwhile, place crushed matzos into a large mixing bowl
  and cover with water. Let matzos soak for 1 1/2 minutes
  (no longer), then drain in a colander. Gently squeeze
  the matzo crumbs in the colander to remove excess
  moisture.
  
  In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the salt.
  
  Add eggs to the matzo and stir till well combined.
  
  Pour cooled apples and sugary syrup from the pan into
  the mixing bowl with the matzos. Stir till combined.
  Reserve the pan.
  
  Spray a deep pie dish generously with cooking oil spray.
  Pour the apple mixture into the pie dish.
  
  In the same saucepan you used to cook the apples, melt 2
  tbsp butter, or butter substitute, then stir in 3 tbsp
  brown sugar and mix to form a thick syrup.
  
  Stir chopped pecans in the syrup till they are well
  coated. Remove pan from heat.
  
  Sprinkle candied pecans evenly over the top of the apple
  pie.
  
  Bake pie for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden
  brown and pie is cooked through. Serve warm.
  
  PASSOVER NOTE: If you're making this dish for Passover
