Apple Praline Pie

I have a big box of apples from a local orchard and have been using them up in various desserts-crumbles, pies, etc. I love to try different pie recipes I find and this one was amazing! This pie combined the delicious apples baked in a flaky crust with a caramelly topping mixed with crunchy pecans. So good! I liked only having to make the bottom crust and trying something different from the streusel topping.

Apple Praline Pie From Simply in Season
3 cups apples, peeled and sliced
1/3 cup sugar
2 T flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
9" unbaked pastry shell
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup milk
3 T honey
2 T butter
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans

Combine the first 5 ingredients, tossing to coat apples. Place apples in the pastry shell and bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Combine the brown sugar, milk, honey and butter in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Add nuts. Remove pie from oven and pour honey-nut mixture over top. Continue baking at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
