Upside Down Apple Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. chopped pecans
1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 c. margarine or butter, melted
1 (15 oz.) pkg. Pillsbury refrigerated pie crusts
6 c. thinly sliced apples
1/4 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg

Preparation

In 9 inch pie pan, combine pecans, brown sugar and margarine; spread evenly over bottom of pan. Prepare pie crusts according to package directions for two crust pie, placing bottom crust over pecan mixture in pan. Heat oven to 375\u00b0. In large bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg, mixing lightly. Spoon into crust lined pan. Top with remaining pie crust; fold edge of top crust under bottom crust. Press together to seal; flute edge. Cut slits in top crust.
Bake at 375\u00b0 for 40-50 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is deep golden brown. Cover edge of crust with strips of foil after 15-20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. (Place foil or cookie sheet on lowest oven rack during baking to guard against spills.) Cool pie upright in pan for 5 minutes. Place serving plate over pie; invert. Carefully remove pan. Some nuts may remain in pan; replace on pie with a knife. Cool at least 1 hour before serving.
