the second version: apple pie w/ a nut crust. a Nut Crust is easy enough, I thought, when I looked at the Joy of Cooking. especially when i have so many manly helpers. 2 cups of pecans or walnuts, 4 Tbsps of butter, 3 Tbsp of sugar, 1/3 tsp of salt. so we whip this up, spread it out on top and bake. tasty, except when they said nut crust, they meant for the pie to be baked IN, not on top. oops...so much for my reading skillz...
