Advertizing:

For this clever creation, butter and pecans are put into the pie pan before the bottom pastry. After the pie is completely filled with sweet, spiced apples, topped with a second crust and baked, the entire pie is flipped to reveal a luxurious pecan glaze.

INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):

PREPARATION:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Spread butter or margarine evenly on bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Press pecans, rounded side down, into butter layer. Pat brown sugar evenly over nuts, then lay one pastry shell over brown sugar layer.
  • Place apples in a large bowl and sprinkle with lemon juice.
  • In a small bowl combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well. Toss mixture with apples, coating thoroughly.
  • Spread apples into pie plate. Cover apples with second pastry shell. Crimp edges of pastry and make steam vents in top.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes. Cool 5 minutes then place serving plate over top of pie; invert pie onto plate. Carefully remove pie pan. Serve warm or cool.
