Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or 1/2 cup walnuts
• fresh whipped cream

Directions

1. Butter a 9 1/2 inch deep dish pie pan; set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine egg, egg yolk, sugar, and brown sugar; beat, using an electric mixer, for 2 minutes or until light and airy; blend in vanilla.

3. In another bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg; stir into the batter along with the apple and nuts.

4. Transfer mixture into prepared pie pan; smoothing the top to even out.

5. Place pie on the center rack of a 350° oven; bake about 30 minutes or until the top is a dark golden brown and crusted over; the apples will most likely be visible through the crust.

6. Place pie on a wire rack and let cool.

7. Serve barely warm or at room temperature, garnished with whipped cream.
