 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  Pecans; fine chopped


Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.

In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tb butter or substitute. Add 
applesauce, white sugar, 2 tb brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, 
nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined, then bring to a 
boil.

Reduce heat to medium and add diced apples to pan. Stir apples 
until 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 until well combined.

Pour cooled apples and sugary syrup from the pan into the mixing 
bowl with the matzos. Stir until 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 tb 
butter or substitute, then stir in 3 tb brown sugar and mix to 
form a thick syrup.

Stir chopped pecans in the syrup until they are well coated. 
Remove pan from heat.

Sprinkle candied pecans evenly over the top of the apple pie.

Bake pie for 45 to 50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and 
pie is cooked through. Serve warm.
