Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9-inch pie dish by lightly greasing it.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, chopped pecans, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and lemon juice. Toss the mixture gently until the apples are evenly coated with the sugar and spice blend.
-
Lay one of the refrigerated pie crusts into the greased pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides with a slight overhang.
-
Spoon the apple and pecan filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
-
Place the second pie crust on top of the filling and crimp the edges of the two crusts together to seal the pie.
-
Using a knife, make a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
Optionally, you can brush the top crust with a beaten egg wash for a golden finish.
-
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
-
Once baked, remove the Ozark Pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
-
Enjoy a slice of this wonderfully aromatic and flavorful pie on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent touch.
