Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With machine running, add ice water drop by drop until the dough just holds together. Transfer dough to a mixing bowl, and shape into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Fit into a nonstick or lightly buttered 9-inch pie plate, and trim the edge with a sharp knife. Lightly cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

BAKED APPLES FILLED WITH DATES AND PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Combine the pecans, dates, orange zest and juice, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl and stir to combine.
• Core the apples, leaving half an inch at the bottom, and peel the top edges. Stuff the apples with the pecan filling, then dot the butter on top or melt the butter and brush it on the apple tops.
• Put the apples in a baking pan, pour in about 1 inch of apple juice, and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 40 to 60 minutes, until the apples are tender but not mushy. Test for doneness by poking a fork into the apples; they should be tender and yield easily to pressure.
• Serve warm, drizzled with the warm apple juice from the baking pan.
• If you don't have dates or pecans, be creative! You can substitute currants or raisins and walnuts or almonds, and if nuts are a problem, you can simply omit them. You can use clarified butter if you like, or for a dairy-free version use coconut oil.
• Use a melon baller to scoop out the apple core; it's important to keep the base intact.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
