Topsy-turvy Apple Pie Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Peetabear / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months 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.

Well Peeta, the pie turned out awesome. The pie satisfied everyone's sweet tooth. I was a little nervous flipping the pie onto the plate but it came out beautifully. So glad you posted and it is definitely a favorite in my family. (I even took a picture) Talk to you soon. Ruthie

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. Already have a request to make this again for the holidays. Thanks so much for a wonderful recipe!

Hey Peeta just tried the pie tonight and it was very good! Luckily I came across a can of pecans from the import store out here, although, I didn't have corn syrup I did sub with mable syrup which turned out just great. Thanks for the recipe, I'll be doing it again soon.
