2/3 cup granulated sugar
Water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch of nutmeg

1/3 cup firmly packed brown sugar

Directions:
This 1988 Ladies Home Journal first prize apple pie winner was from the
senator's wife, Elizabeth Dole.
Filling
Combine apples, sugar and 1/2 cup water in a large skillet. Bring to a
simmer over medium heat, then cover and cook 5 minutes. Dissolve
cornstarch in 1/4 cup water in a small bowl; stir into apple mixture.
Bring to a boil, then cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Remove
from heat. Stir in the butter, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cool.
Pastry
Beat the butter and brown sugar in mixing bowl with an electric mixer on
medium speed until light and fluffy. With mixer at low speed, beat in
the flour and pecans. Press dough into a 10-inch pie plate and
refrigerate 10 minutes.
Topping
Combine flour, pecans, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger and mace in a
medium bowl. With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Spoon filling into the pastry shell. Sprinkle topping evenly over
apples. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
Bake for 30 minutes more or until apples are tender. If topping browns
too quickly, cover loosely with foil. Cool on a wire rack.
