1 single pie crust (use your favorite recipe)
3 c. applesauce
2/3 c. brown sugar
2 tbsp. butter, melted
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
3 tsp. grated lemon peel
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
3 eggs, separated

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out the pastry and line a 10-inch pan with the dough. Place the prepared pie dough in the refrigerator while you make a filling.

In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, egg yolks, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon peel and walnuts. Stir well. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they stand in stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the applesauce mixture and turn the mix into the pie shell.

Bake for 15 minutes, then turn the heat down to 325 degrees and bake for 30-40 minutes longer or until set. Chill and serve.
