4. SPRINKLE CRUMB TOPPING OVER APPLE MIXTURE
5. PLACE PIE ON COOKIE SHEET SO IT WONT DRIP. PUT FOIL AROUND EDGES.
6. BAKE 375 FOR 25 MINUTES. THEN REMOVE FOIL AND PUT IT BACK FOR ANOTHER
25 TO 30 MINUTES WITHOUT FOIL.
7. REMOVE FROM OVEN. SPRINKLE WITH CHOPPED PECANS THEN DRIZZLE WITH CARMEL ON TOP. I SEEM TO USE EXTRA ON THIS.
8. COOL ON WIRE RACK AND ENJOY WARM OR AT ROOM TEMPERATURE.


THIS RECIPE WAS A BAKE OFF WINNER I FOUND MANY YEARS AGO AND HAVE USED IT EVERY FALL TO BAKE SEVERAL PIES FOR MY FAMILY AND MANY TO GIVE AWAY.

THE PIE ITSELF FREEZES WELL COVERED WITH FOIL BUT I ADD THE CARMEL AFTER THE THAW AND BAKING.
HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
