This came from an issue of either Family Circle or Woman’s Day over 20
years ago. It has never failed and has never failed to please. The original
recipe calls for the blanched almonds, but I prefer the taste and texture
of walnuts or pecans. I also recommend using Granny Smith apples, and
unsalted margarine can be used in place of vegetable shortening. Butter is
best for the topping
