SPICED UPSIDE-DOWN APPLE PIE
My grandma taught me to make this pie when I was 4. Over the years, I've kept it about the same with just a few changes. Flip it out the second it stops bubbling. The glaze makes it look especially delicious. -Francine Bryson, Pickens, South Carolina

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degree
- Coat a deep-dish pie plate with nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. Coat the paper with cooking spray also. Now, I have a pretty deep-dish pie plate,and it is a little deep for refrigerated dough (there is not a lot of hangover for sealing the two crusts together but it works fine). I think a regular pie plate would be fine.
- In a small bowl combine 4 Tablespoons of melted butter, brown sugar and pecans. Mix well and spread evenly over the bottom of the pie plate, on top of the parchment. Place one of the crusts in the pie plate, pressing it firmly against the nut mixture and up the sides of the plate. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon and the remaining 2 Tablespoons of melted butter. Mix well. Add the apples in and toss gently to coat. Spoon into the pie crust.
- Place the second crust over the apple mixture. Trim and fold the edges together to seal and cut some slits in the top of the crust for venting. Because my pie dish is so deep I seal the edges the best I can when using a refrigerated pie dough. I really can't fold and seal but it does't matter at all.
- Bake 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until crust is golden brown in a 375 degree oven. (Mine took 1-1/4 hours in the bottom third of my oven.) Make sure to place a cookie sheet on the bottom oven rack to catch any drips from the pie.
- Let the pie cool for 5 minutes and then place a plate that is larger than the pie on top of it and flip it over. Use oven gloves as it will still be hot. Remove the pie plate and gently lift the paper. Allow to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- To make pastry sift flour into a bowl. Cut cold butter into small pieces with a wire cheese cutter. Add butter to flour and work it into the flour with the back of a fork. Do not use your hands or anything that would add heat to the mixture. When the butter has been worked into the flour as much as possible, add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time and mix it in with a large spoon. It will probably only take 2 or 3 tablespoons of water to form the dough. As soon as the dough can be rolled into a ball in the bowl put it in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
- When the dough has been in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour, start to coat the bottom of the pie pan. I prefer to use the deepest pie pan I can find. Spread 1 tablespoon of butter over the bottom and sides of the pie pan. Depending on the size of the pan you might have to use more or less, but I like my coating to be generous. Then sprinkle 1/3 cup of brown sugar over the butter, with a light coating covering the bottom and sides. As with the butter you may have to use more or less depending on pan size. Then place the pecan nut halves, flat side up, on the bottom and sides of the pan. I start in the middle with 1 nut and then put the rest in circles around the center, closely spaced. Finish with a layer of nuts covering the side of the pan. The entire bottom and sides should be covered with nuts. Next take the dough out of the refrigerator, cut the ball in 1/2, wrap 1/2 in the plastic wrap and put it back in the refrigerator. Roll out the other 1/2 taking care not to handle the dough too much. Place the rolled out dough in the pie pan over the pecan nut coating, and trim the edges. Cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- To make the filling place 1/4 cup of butter and 1 cup of sugar in a small pan and cook over medium heat. When the butter and sugar have mixed into a liquid form add 1/2 vanilla bean. Stir the mixture constantly until it starts to turn brownish, or caramelized. Then remove it from the heat. Fill a large bowl with cold water and squeeze in 1/2 of the lemon. Peel the apples, cut into thin slices and put into the bowl with cold lemon water. I like to cut the slices rather thin, 1/8-inch or so. In a small bowl mix together 1 rounded teaspoon cinnamon, 1 pinch nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Drain the apples in a colander and wipe all water out of the large bowl. Put the apples back in the bowl and sprinkle with the cinnamon, nutmeg and flour mixture. Mix until they are all covered.
- Take the pie pan out of the refrigerator and put 1/2 on the apples over the bottom pastry layer. Squeeze 1/2 of the lemon into the caramelized butter and sugar mixture, mix and pour half of the mixture through a sieve onto the apples. Layer the other 1/2 of the apples on top of that and pour on the rest of the caramelized mix. The pie should be just slightly over filled, and formed to a dome in the middle. Remove the second half of the pastry ball from the refrigerator and roll it out. Brush the bottom lip of the pie pastry with water to help form a seal. Place the rolled pastry on top of the pie and trim with kitchen scissors. Crimp the edges together with your fingers to make a good seal between the top and bottom pastry layers. Cut 3 small slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Place pie on a cookie sheet and wrap aluminum foil around the pie edges.
- Place the cookie sheet and pie in the center of the oven and allow to cook for 15 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and cook for an additional 25 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and check the crust to see if it is golden brown. You will probably have to continue to cook for another 5 to 10 minutes for the crust to turn golden brown. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to set for 5 minutes. Then place a large plate over the top of the pie and flip it over. Gently lift the pie pan off of the pie. It should come off clean, but if any pecans stick to the pie pan remove them and put them back on the pie. Allow to cool at least 1 1/2 hours before cutting.

Steps:
- Put the flour in a mixing bowl and add the butter pieces. Work the flour and butter together with the fingers or a pastry blender until well blended.
- Gradually sprinkle the mixture with ice water, using only enough so that the dough holds together and can be formed into a ball. Shape the dough into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap closely in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Pour the melted butter into a dish about 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep and 12 inches in diameter (the dish might also be rectangular).
- Sprinkle evenly with the brown sugar, grated lemon rind and arrowroot.
- Peel the apples and cut away any blemishes. Quarter the apples and cut away the cores. Cut the quarters lengthwise in half. Arrange the apple pieces in neat concentric circles over the brown sugar mixture.
- Sprinkle the bourbon over the apples.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a circle about 13 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough on top of the apples and gently fold over the overhanging edges toward the center, pressing down lightly all around the outer rim of dough so that the apples are totally covered with dough.
- Cover closely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- When ready to bake preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Place the pie in the oven and bake one hour. Remove to a rack and let cool briefly.
- Run a knife around the inside rim of the pie. Place a large dish over the pie. Quickly invert the pie onto the plate. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or frying pan for the pie to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
- Make sure the butter is melted and bubbly before adding the apples. This will help to caramelize the apples and give them a delicious golden brown color.
- Don't overcrowd the apples in the skillet. If you have too many apples, they will not cook evenly.
- Cook the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape. You don't want them to become mushy.
- Use a plate or lid that is slightly smaller than the skillet to invert the pie. This will help to prevent the apples from spilling out.
- Invert the pie carefully to avoid breaking it. If the pie does break, don't worry, it will still taste delicious!
- Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
