If you’re looking for a unique and delicious dessert idea, look no further than Upside Down Apple Pie! This special twist on classic apple pie is sure to impress your guests and leave everyone craving seconds.
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. While your oven warms up, take a closer look at the apples you’ll be using. We recommend choosing firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Peel and slice 5-6 apples, and then set them aside.
The next step is to make the caramel topping for your pie. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of unsalted butter with 1 cup of brown sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Pour the caramel mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, making sure to spread it evenly.
Now it’s time to add your sliced apples on top of the caramel layer. Arrange the apples in a circular pattern until the entire dish is covered. You can sprinkle some cinnamon on top of the apples for extra flavor, if you like.
For the pie crust, you can either make your own from scratch or use a store-bought one. Roll out the dough and drape it over the top of the apples. Tuck the edges of the crust into the sides of the dish, creating a seal around the filling. Use a sharp knife to make a few air vents in the top of the crust.
Bake the pie for about 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving.
This delicious dessert is sure to wow your guests with its unique presentation and delicious flavor. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, and watch as your friends and family rave about your culinary skills.
