Here's proof that different spellings are needed for the
fruit and the dish. It's nowhere made clear in the article
whether the driver was eating a chile pepper or a dish of
chili. It would have seemed the former, and only additional
research made it clear that it was the latter, which is
rather peculiar. I mean, choking on stew and not remembering?

My followup yields the information from WBZ that the house
was so structurally fouled up that it's going to be torn down.

APPLE, PECAN AND RAISIN PIE
cat: dessert, confused
Yield: one pie

1/2 lb plus 3 Tb cold unsalted butter
1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
1/4 ts salt
1 Tb sugar
1/4 c ice water (tops)
6 lg red Delicious apples, peeled, cored and sliced
3/4 c coarsely chopped pecans
3/4 c raisins
1 1/2 ts ground cinnamon
1 1/2 c packed light brown sugar
1 c old-fashioned (not quick-cooking) oatmeal

Thinly slice 1/4 lb (1 stick) of the butter, and place in
freezer until well chilled. In the bowl of a food processor,
combine 1 1/4 c of the flour, salt, sugar and butter from
freezer. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about
10 sec. 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" thickness. Fit into a
nonstick or lightly buttered 9" pie plate, and trim the
edge with a sharp knife. Lightly cover with plastic wrap,
and refrigerate.

In a saute pan over medium heat, melt 3 Tb of the remaining
butter. Add apple slices, and saute until soft, 10 to 15
min. Remove from heat, and allow to cool.

Heat oven to 325 F. In a mixing bowl, combine pecans,
raisins, cinnamon and 3/4 c of light brown sugar. Mix well.
Add apples, toss lightly and set aside. Slice remaining
1/4 lb (1 stick) butter, and place in the bowl of a food
processor. Add remaining 1/2 c flour, and pulse until
mixture resembles coarsemeal. Transfer to a mixing
bowl, and add remaining 3/4 c light brown sugar and
oatmeal; mix well.

Spoon apple mixture into chilled pie shell. Cover with
oatmeal topping. Bake on a middle oven rack until
crust is golden brown and filling is slightly bubbly,
about 1 hr. Allow to cool before serving.
