How To Make apple pecan pie
-
Step 1In a sauce pan, melt butter on medium heat. Then add cane sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract in this exact order. Mix well.
-
Step 2When mixture reaches its boiling point, turn the heat down to low and occasionally stir for 15 minutes.
-
Step 3Lay one of the pie crusts on a buttered pie pan. Brush a thin coat of egg white to avoid sogginess. Cut the other pie crusts into strips for the "basket weave" top crust.
-
Step 4Mix the cubed apples and pecans in a separate bowl. Pour 3/4 of the butter/sugar mixture and coat the apples and pecans completely.
-
Step 5Add the coated apples and pecans onto the prepared bottom crust, then pour the rest of the butter/sugar sauce mix. Weave the strips of pie crusts on the top.
-
Step 6Beat the remaining egg white and yolk. Add milk to create an egg wash, then brush atop the weaved crusts.
-
Step 7Bake at 350° for 1 hour.
