My Grandmother's Apple Macaroon image

A apple cinnamon & pecan filling covered by a crispy crust. This is a farovite of mine that I found in my grandmothers recipe book. When I say recipe book I don't mean a store bought one. This was written in her own hand. I do hope you enjoy as much as I do.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 pie, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 apples (I prefer Granny Smith)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup pecans, Chopped (I like mine coarsely chopped)
2 eggs, well beaten
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup shortening (I prefer the butter flavored type)
3/4 cup butter, Softened

Steps:

  • FILLING:.
  • Peel, core & thinly slice the apples. Place in a pie pan or baking pan. (I spray my pan with oil spray before filling however it may not be necessary.)
  • Mix together the sugar and cinnamon then sprinkle over the sliced apples.
  • Next sprinkle on the chopped pecans.
  • BATTER:.
  • Mix together the eggs, 1 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cup flour, 3/4 cup shortening and the 3/4 cup butter. Batter will be thick.
  • Spread on top of filling.
  • Bake at 300 until crust crisps approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
