    Title: Ambrose' Passover Apple Pecan Pie
    Categories: Pies, Pastry, Fruits, Nuts
    Yield: 8 servings

    5 Ripe Granny Smith apples;
    - peeled, cored, chopped
    1/4 c Butter; divided
    1/2 c Applesauce
    1/3 c White sugar
    5 tb Brown sugar; divided
    1 1/2 ts Cinnamon
    1 ts Vanilla
    1/4 ts Nutmeg
    1/2 Lemon; juiced
    3 Egg matzos; crushed into
    - large crumbs
    2 lg Eggs
    1/2 ts Salt
    Nonstick spray
    3/4 c Fine chopped pecans

    Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.

    In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter or butter
    substitute. Add applesauce, white sugar, 2 tbsp brown
    sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice. Stir
    till well combined, then bring to a boil.

    Reduce heat to medium and add diced apples to pan. Stir
    apples till they are well coated with sugar mixture.
    Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for exactly 8
    minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not overcook. Uncover
    apples at the end of cooking and remove from heat; allow
    to cool.

    Meanwhile, place crushed matzos into a large mixing bowl
    and cover with water. Let matzos soak for 1 1/2 minutes
    (no longer), then drain in a colander. Gently squeeze
    the matzo crumbs in the colander to remove excess
    moisture.

    In a small bowl, beat the eggs with the salt.

    Add eggs to the matzo and stir till well combined.

    Pour cooled apples and sugary syrup from the pan into
    the mixing bowl with the matzos. Stir till combined.
    Reserve the pan.

    Spray a deep pie dish generously with cooking oil spray.
    Pour the apple mixture into the pie dish.

    In the same saucepan you used to cook the apples, melt 2
    tbsp butter, or butter substitute, then stir in 3 tbsp
    brown sugar and mix to form a thick syrup.

    Stir chopped pecans in the syrup till they are well
    coated. Remove pan from heat.

    Sprinkle candied pecans evenly over the top of the apple
    pie.

    Bake pie for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden
    brown and pie is cooked through. Serve warm.

    PASSOVER NOTE: If you're making this dish for Passover
