Preheat oven to 200ºC . Mix together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and apples, then combine with egg and butter. Spoon into pie shell and sprinkle with pecans. Place on top or upper middle rack of the oven and bake for 10 min, then lower heat to 180ºC and bake for 45-50 min more. My notes: Apple skin may be left on if grating is done in a food processor. Filling is sufficient for 2 smaller 20 cm tinfoil pies. ----
