    Preheat oven to 425. Sprinkle pecans on bottom of pie shell. In a seperate bowl, mix sugar, flour and spices with apple slices. Heap apples into pie shell. Dot with butter. Top with crumb mixture. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 for 30 minutes or until apples are tender.

notes

Anybody that knows me, knows that I can not, do not & will not make a homemade pie crust so, I buy frozen 9" deep-dish pie crusts. I also advise to pre-cook your filling as some apples have higher water content.
