Instructions
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Combine apples and water in a saucepan. |
| 2 | Cover and steam for about 3 minutes. |
| 3 | Drain and spread apples on a cookie sheet to cool quickly. |
| 4 | Arrange apple slices in a 9 or 10-inch pie plate. |
| 5 | In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, pecans, graham cracker crumbs, salt, and melted butter or margarine. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the arranged apples. |
| 6 | Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake the pie for 10 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes. |
