Grated Apple Pie

1 cup sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Dash of salt

4 cups apple, peeled and coarsely grated

1 egg beaten

1/4 cup plus

2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 unbaked 9 inch pastry shell

1 cup pecans or other nuts, chopped

Preheat oven 400F. Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and prepared apple, and toss gently. Stir in egg and butter. Spoon mixture into pastry shell; sprinkle with chopped pecans. Bake at 400F for 10 minutes. Reduce oven heat to 350F and bake an additional 50 minutes.

Note:
Be sure to bake pie in middle rack, not on high rack as bottom of crust won't cook.

Chill before serving and put a dab of Cool Whip on each serving.
