Thanksgiving Upside Down Apple Pie?

I know, sounds crazy right?  Apple pies are good enough like they are, but how can they be any better upside down?... Well this one is better upside down, you decide.






(Instructions: Place a serving plate over the top of the pie; invert pie onto serving plate.  Remove pie plate and let cool completely.)

Yea Right, I can't wait for this delicious goodness to "cool completely".  Thanks to Southern Living my Thanksgiving dessert was off the charts!



Makes 8 servings or 4 if you were at my house that day :)
Prep: 25 mins
Bake: 1 hr
Cool: 1 hr 10 mins (if you can wait that long)

1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
1 (15 oz) package refrigerated piecrusts, divided
4 medium-size Granny Smith apples, peeled and cut
2 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled and cut
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven 375 degrees.  Stir together first 3 ingredients and spread onto bottom of 9 inch pie plate. Fit 1 piecrust over pecan mixture in pie plate.
2. Stir together apples and next 3 ingredients.  Spoon mixture into crust, packing tightly and mounding in center.  Place remaining piecrust over filling; press both crusts together, fold edges under and crimp.  Place pie onto an aluminum foil-lined pan.  Cut 4-5 slits in the top of piecrust for steam to escape.
3. Bake at 375 on lower oven rack 1 hr to 1 hr and 5 minutes or until juices are think and bubbly and crust is golden brown.
4. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 10 minutes.  Place a serving plate over the top of the pie; invert pie onto serving plate.  Remove pie plate and let cool completely (about an hour).
