Ingredients

FOR THE PIE:
1 whole Frozen Deep Dish Pie Crust
4 Tablespoons Butter
5 cups Granny Smith Apples, Cored And Sliced
2/3 cups Sugar
1/4 cups Brown Sugar, Packed
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Dark Rum
3/4 cups Water
2 teaspoons Cornstarch
FOR THE TOPPING:
2 cups Flour
1 cup Brown Sugar, Packed
1/3 cups Sugar
1/2 cups Pecans, Chopped
6 Tablespoons Butter, Melted

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 350 F and take your crust out of the freezer to slightly thaw.
2

In a large pan melt the 4 tablespoons butter on medium heat then add the apple slices. Allow the apples to cook and turn slightly brown for 7 to 10 minutes. You don't need to cook them until they turn crispy just until they start to get a slightly golden tint on them. Sprinkle in the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and rum and stir for 5 minutes. You will begin to the mixture thicken slightly.
3

In a small bowl or cup add the cornstarch to the water and whisk with a fork so the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Now pour it into the apple mixture. Begin to stir the mixture for another 5 minutes and the apple filling should be nice and thick. Once the mixture has thickened remove from heat and set aside.
4

In a medium bowl, add the ingredients for the topping (flour, brown sugar, sugar, pecans, and butter). Use a fork to blend all of these ingredients together. It should look like large clumps of sand.
5

Pour the apple filling into the pie crust then sprinkle the topping on top of the apple filling. Pace the pie on a baking sheet. Place inside the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
6

Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 20 minutes and that will also allow the filling to set a bit more. Then you are ready to serve.
