Apple Upside Down Pie Recipe - butter

Method

• Pour melted butter into the bottom of 9" pie dish.
• Mash brown sugar unto butter.
• Add in nuts, scattered over surface.
• Roll out one pie shell so it is large sufficient to extend over the edge of the pie dish at least 1".
• Fit into pie dish and be careful not to poke holes in it with the nuts.
• In bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, spices and salt.
• Pour apple mix out into pie dish, on top of the crust.
• Spread out proportionately.
• Place a second crust on top of the apples.
• Seal the two crusts together well, crimping the edges tightly.
• Stand the crimped edge up right.
• Carefully make a valley indent all the way around the outside edge of the piecrust, just inside the crimped edge.
• By doing this you will help prevent any juices which bubble up from running over.
• Poke a few holes in the crust-don't cut slits.
• Bake pie for 55-60 min.
• Cover edge of crust if it is browning too much.
• Remove from oven and allow to stand for 2 min.
• Wearing oven mitts, place a serving plate on top of pie and holding it tightly onto the pie, turn over to turn pie out, upside down, onto the plate.
• This is best served hot, with a topping of whipped cream or possibly ice cream.
