Upside-Down Apple Pie image

This pie has won eight ribbons at area fairs. People say it looks and tastes like a giant apple-cinnamon bun. I take time off from work around the holidays to fill pie requests from family and friends. The recipe has become everyone's favorite. -Susan Frisch, Germansville, Pennsylvania

This is the best apple pie recipe I've ever tried. The crust is flaky and the apples are perfectly caramelized. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of apple pie, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The upside down style is a nice twist on the classic pie.

This is a delicious and easy to make pie. I especially love the gooey caramel sauce that forms on top of the apples.

I've made this pie several times and it always turns out great. It's a real crowd-pleaser. The only thing I do differently is I add a pinch of cinnamon to the apples.
