Kids (and some adults) always seem picky about nuts. This pie is NOT for them. Loaded with walnuts and amped-up spices, it's a unique twist on traditional apple pie.
Ingredients:
5 large tart apples (peeled cored and sliced)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 (9 inch) pastry for double-crust pie
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
1. In a bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Combine the sugars, nuts, tapioca, and spices. Add to apples and toss to coat thoroughly. Let stand for 15 minutes.
2. Line a 9 inch pie plate with pastry. Add apples and dot with butter. Add top crust and seal edges. Flute. Cut 6-8 slits in the top and cover edges loosely with foil. Bake at 400°F for 45-50 minutes until crust is golden, filling is bubbly and apples are tender. Cool.
