   6      cups          thinly sliced peeled baking apples
   2      tablespoons   lime juice
     3/4  cup           sugar
     1/4  cup           flour
     1/2  teaspoon      ground cinnamon or nutmeg
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
                        Pastry for double crust pie, 9"
   2      tablespoons   butter or margarine

     1/4  cup           butter or margarine

saucepan. Stir in brown sugar and cream. Bring to a boil, stirring
constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in pecans. Pour over the top
crust. Return to the oven for 3-4 minutes or until bubbly. Serve warm.
