Number Of Ingredients 14

one 9 1/2- or 10-inch pie shell
8 red apples
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup sugar, or more to taste depending on sweetness of apples
3 tbsp flour
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
Topping
1 cup + 2 tbsp flour
1 stick +1 1/2 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
2/3 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup pecans, broken up coarsely

Steps:

For the filling: Peel, quarter, and core the apples. And slice them into a large mixing bowl, tossing them with the lemon juice to prevent darkening. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar flour, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss to coat. For the topping: In a food processor, or using two knives or your fingers, cut together the flour and butter, leaving the butter in pieces about the size of a nickel. Mix in the brown sugar, then the pecans. Refrigerate the mixture. Scatter the apple mixture into the crust, mounding it in the center. Place in the oven; place a sheet of aluminum foil on the rack below to catch any drips. Bake for 25 minutes. Raise the oven heat to 400°F. Scatter the topping over the apples, covering them completely and pressing gently to adhere. Bake until the topping is nicely browned, 25 to 30 minutes longer. Cool the pie on a wire rack; serve at room temperature or lukewarm.
