Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon corn syrup
⅓ cup chopped pecans
½ cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie crusts, and set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice; set aside.
  • Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, butter and corn syrup; spread in bottom of a 9 inch pie dish (glass or ceramic works best). Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cover with one pie crust. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
  • Arrange half of the apples in pastry lined plate. Sprinkle with half the brown sugar mixture. Repeat layers. Cover with remaining pie crust, fold top edge under, and crimp. Cut a few slits in the top to vent steam.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes. Loosen edge of pie, and carefully invert pie onto a serving dish. Serve warm.

UPSIDE-DOWN CARAMEL APPLE PIE



Upside-Down Caramel Apple Pie image

I have been in search of a recipe for a homemade caramel apple pie to duplicate the toes curling, eyes rolling, I am going to die from sheer pleasure taste of the caramel apple pie The Fresh Market makes. (I know a mass produced supermarket pie that is to die for! I turned up my nose at it until my father made me take a bite of his and then I had to have my own.) This isn't it but it is still a very yummy caramel apple pie and it is upside-down to boot which makes it stand out from just a regular pie on a holiday table or for guests. I found this recipe in an old Pampered Chef book and have made it with great results and received many compliments and recipe requests.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1/3 cup pecans, chopped
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash nutmeg
5 granny smith apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • For glaze combine brown sugar, butter, and corn syrup and spread evenly in Stoneware Pie Plate. (These are the only pie plates I use and have never had anything but good results. Not sure if the pie will stick in a different type of pie plate.) Sprinkle pecans evenly over sugar mixture and top with 1 pie crust. Set aside.
  • For filling combine brown sugar, butter, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl and set aside. Peel, core, and thinly slice apples and sprinkle with lemon juice.
  • Place half the apples on pastry-lined pie plate and sprinkle with half the brown sugar mixture. Repeat layers and place remaining crust over the top. Fold edges of top crust under the edge of the bottom crust to seal and flute edges. Cut several slits in top.
  • Bake 50-60 minutes or until golden and apples are done. Let stand for about 5 minutes and then carefully loosen edges and invert pie onto serving plate. Scrape any of the remaining caramel topping onto the pie. Cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
