Topsy-Turvy Apple Pie
From peetabear 16 years ago

Brown sugar and pecans make the crust special. After baking, the pie gets a twist: it's inverted onto the serving plate, transforming the sticky bottom crust into a moist, nutty topping. Mrs. Donald W. Gaard MN Bake-Off® Contest 03, 1951

I also made this today and I agree with littlemissey...it was scary turning that pie out onto a plate, but mine worked out perfectly too. And what is more important, it was delicious and looked fantastic. Took a photo also to share with my family. ...more
