In charge of dessert for a fund-raising dinner at our church, I experimented and came up with this scrumptious pie made in a jelly roll pan. It fed a group and got rave reviews. With flavorful apples and maple syrup, it gives a true taste of the Northeast. -Alma Lynne Gravel, Trappe, Pennsylvania

35 60 95

Ingredients

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
1/4 cup water
Pinch salt
1 cup shortening
FILLING:
1/2 cup maple syrup, divided
3 pounds tart apples (8 to 9 medium), peeled and thinly sliced
1-1/4 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
TOPPING:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup chopped pecans

Directions

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup flour and water until smooth; set aside. In a large bowl, combine salt and remaining flour; cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add reserved flour mixture; knead gently until dough forms a ball.
Press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan.
Spread 1/4 cup syrup over crust. Arrange apples over syrup. Combine the sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, vanilla and remaining syrup; drizzle over apples.
For topping, combine flour and sugar in a bowl; cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in pecans. Sprinkle over filling. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until apples are tender. Yield: 18-24 servings.

Editor's Note: Pastry can be easily pressed into pan by placing a large sheet of plastic wrap on top of the dough.
