-Cooking Directions
In a bowl, combine flour, pecans and salt; cut in the shortening until crumbly.
Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until a ball forms. Divide dough in half.
Roll out each portion to fit a 9-in. pie plate; place pastry in pie plates.
Flute edges and set aside. Combine pie mix, milk and egg; pour into pastry shells.
For topping, combine brown sugar, flour, pecans and cinnamon in a small bowl; cut in butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle over filling. Cover edges of pastry loosely with foil.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for 2 hours. Refrigerate until serving.
