JUDY'S CARAMEL NUT APPLE PIE
Apple Filling:
About six apples, pared and sliced
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or to taste
Cook the apples in above mixture until soft but not mushy. Thicken with two tablespoons clear-jel mixed with 1/4 cup apple juice, cool and add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
Caramel nut layer:
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Toast butter and nuts in small skillet,
cool and add 1/2 cup caramel apple dip.
Crust: - (Crumb mixture)
2 cups flour
3/4 cup shortening
1 teaspoon salt
Add a third to a half cup cold water, form into a ball. Use half the dough for bottom crust and half for top. To assemble pie, spread caramel nut layer on bottom crust, then spread apple layer over nut mixture.  Roll remaining dough for top crust.  A lattice crust is pretty but a regular crust is fine.  Brush top with milk and sprinkle with sugar.  Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes, reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking until crust is browned and filling bubbly, about 25 minutes.
