Spiced Upside-Down Apple Pie image

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

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pie turned out really dry. I think I may have overcooked it.

I thought this pie was just okay. The crust was a little dry, and the filling was a bit too sweet for my taste.

This upside-down apple pie was a hit! The flavors of the spices and apples were perfectly balanced, and the crust was flaky and golden brown. I will definitely be making this again.
