Apple Pecan Crumb Pie

In celebration of October's arrival, here is a must-have recipe for a fabulous fall treat. I made this last night -- I didn't eat any because of the butter, but I heard it turned out tasty.

Filling:
1/4 chopped pecans
6 cups apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. flour
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbl. butter

Crumb topping:
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Sprinkle pecans in an unbaked deep dish pie shell. Mix sugar, flour and spices and toss with apples. Heap apples in pie shell, dot with butter. Blend crumb topping with fork until the size of peas, then sprinkle over pie. Bake at 425 for 40-45 minutes.
