Crust: Sift four & baking powder together. Make a well in center and in it
put the sugar, vanilla and eggs. Mix in some of the flour from the sides
to form a paste. Cut the butter into small pieces and put around the top
of the paste. Cover with the rest of the flour and knead all ingredients
until the dough is smooth. Divide the dough into two balls and
refrigerate, covered until dough is cool and firm enough to handle. Roll
out as usual and line the bottom of a 10-inch pie plate. Filling: Cream
the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time. Stir in
the molasses, corn syrup brandy and lemon juice. Add the apples and pecans
and mix thoroughly. *Pour into a pastry lined 10-inch pie plate. Sprinkle
with nutmeg over all. Top with a lattice crust and bake at 350 until
crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly - about 35-45 minutes.
