How To Make head-over-heels apple pie

  • 1
    In a 10-inch pie plate, combine pecans, brown sugar, and butter, spreading evenly over bottom of pan.
  • 2
    Prepare the pie crust, flouring both sides. Place one crust over the top of mixture in pan, pressing the crust down around the sides of the pan.
  • 3
    In a large bowl, mix apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss lightly.
  • 4
    Spoon apple mixture into the pie-crust lined plate. Add second pie crust and flute edges. Cut several slits in top for steam to escape and place on a cookie sheet.
  • 5
    Bake pie in a preheated 375-degree oven for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 6
    After cooling about 5 minutes, place a serving plate over the pie and carefully invert. Remove the pie pan. If some nuts stick in the pan, gently remove them with a knife and replace them on the pie. Cool at least 1 hour before serving.
