This very yummy recipe has been a family favorite for years!  I originally clipped it from a Taste of Home magazine over 20 years ago!

CANDY APPLE PIE

6 cups thinly sliced, peeled baking apples
2 TBSP lime juice
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup flour
1/2 tsp nutmeg or cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
pastry for double-crust pie
2 TBSP butter or margarine

TOPPING:

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 TBSP heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped pecans

In a large bowl, toss apples with lime juice.  Combine dry ingredients; add to the apples and toss lightly.   Place bottom pastry in a 9-in pie plate;  fill with apple mixture.  Dot with butter.  Cover with top crust.  Flute edges high/ cut steam vents.  Bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown and apples are tender.  Meanwhile, for topping, melt butter in a small saucepan.  Stir in brown sugar and cream; bring to a boil, stirring constantly.  Remove from the heat and stir in pecans.  Pour over top crust.   Return to the oven for 3-4 minutes or until bubbly.  Serve warm.
