Easy Recipes: Apple Pecan Upside Down Pie

My friend Kim makes this amazingly delicious apple pie.

It is her mother-in-law’s recipe and it is an apple pie like you have never had before.

It is perfect for Fall. Perfect for Winter.

Perfect for Thanksgiving. Perfect for Christmas.

And did I mention it is easy to make? (You know easy recipes are what I love.)

Ingredients:

• 5-6 apples, peeled and sliced
• 1 c chopped pecans
• 1/2 c brown sugar
• 1/4 c granulated sugar
• 1/3 c margarine or butter
• 2 T flour
• 1/2 T cinnamon
• 1/8 T nutmeg
• 2 rolled refrigerator pie crusts

Melt the butter.

Once melted, stir in the brown sugar.

Whisk until well combine.

Place the chopped pecans evenly in the bottom of a pie plate.

Pour the butter/brown sugar mixture over the pecans evenly.

Top with one of the unrolled pie crusts.

In a large bowl place your apple slices.

Add the flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Mix well to evenly coat the apples.

Dump the apples on top of the pie crust already in the pie plate.

Distribute apples evenly, of course.

Place the second unrolled pie crust over the apples and tuck in the edges.

Make a few slits or cut-outs in the top of the crust so it can vent.

Bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden.

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Be sure to tell your husband to leave the pie alone because it is not ready. (Not that my husband cut a slice of pie before I flipped it…)

Once the pie has cooled for 5 minutes, flip it over onto a plate or platter.

Your buttery pecan sugar mixture will be on top of the pie now.

Slice it up and serve it.

A scoop of vanilla ice cream is delish with this!

Have you ever had pecans in your apple pie? It really is an awesome combination.
