Nut Wedges
- 1 each pie shell (9 inch) mix, for 11 inch pie crust
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 13 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup nuts finely chopped, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans
- 1/2 cup chocolate (semi-sweet) semi-sweet pieces
- 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening
- Stir together pie crust mix and 1/4 cup sugar.
- Add 3 to 4 tablespoons water to form ball.
- Divide in half.
- On floured surface, roll each half into a 9-inch circle.
- Spray a cookie sheet, preferably one of those air-insulated ones, with PAM or other non-stick spray.
- Transfer 1 circle to cookie sheet.
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- For filling, combine 13 cup sugar, cinnamon, honey, lemon juice, and chopped nuts.
- Spread over pastry.
- (Be careful to leave about 3/4 inch to 1-inch edge with no topping.
- You will seal along this edge.
- I also try to press the nut filling down, so it isn't too crumbly.
- Something I do is to take beaten egg white and brush around the edge of the pastry round with the nut filling.
- This will serve as a ``glue''.)
- Top with other pastry round.
- Use tines of fork to seal edges (by pressing fork around the edge, making a fluted-like edging).
- Brush with milk.
- (The milk makes for a shiny top crust.)
- Bake in 375F.
- oven 15 to 20 minutes or until pastry starts to brown.
- Cool 10 minutes.
- while warm, cut into wedges.
- Cool.
- Combine the chocolate pieces and shortening.
- Cook and stir over low heat, just until melted.
- Drizzle over wedges.
