Upside Down Apple Pie



My husband loves apple pie...I'd rather pass!  Every time I make it he insists I try a bite and taste how good it is.  For some reason I just don't like it.  Then the other day I was browsing recipes and came across Upside Down Apple PieI was excited that I had all the ingredients on hand so I whipped one up.  I must say, it's quite delicious!  I did change it a little, but the concept is the same.  It's very simple to put together and it looks beautiful too....enjoy!

Ingredients are as follows:

topping:
6 Tbsp. butter, melted
3/4 C brown sugar
1/2 C chopped pecans (or walnuts)

filling:
1/2 C sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
6 apples, peeled, cored and sliced

1 package refrigerated pie crusts



Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place a cookie sheet on the second rack to catch the drips if it bubbles over!


Line a 10" pie plate with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.



Mix together the melted butter, brown sugar and pecans; spread into pan.



Place one of the crusts on top and press down into the pan; set aside.


Stir the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and butter together; mix in the apples.


Evenly spread into the pie crust.


Place the other crust on top and crimp the edges so it's sealed; cut a slit on top.


Bake for 60-75 minutes; until golden brown. 


Invert pie onto a serving plate (my pie plate is glass so it's hard to see!).


Carefully remove the pie plate and slowly peel off the foil.



Slice, serve and enjoy!

  9. This is a winner thanks for sharing! I made one back in the 70s no recipe I made it up and entered it into a apple pie contest won 1st prize several people were upset because they thought because it was not in a pie plate it should not be called a pie. Thought you would like to know that you have a prize winning recipe!

  15. I don't really like apple pie either, so my husband has resorted to making his own to make sure he gets enough.
