Topsy-Turvy Apple Pie

Brown sugar and pecans make the crust special. After baking, the pie gets a twist: it's turned upside down onto the serving plate, transforming the sticky bottom crust into a moist, nutty topping.

This pie is not only a great conversation piece since it's turned upside down, it's a very delicious apple pie!!!!

I have made this recipe many times and consistently get rave reviews! I love the looks I get when I walk in with this beautiful pie. I try to always keep the supplies on hand for a last-minute get-together.

This pie is easy to make and SO YUMMY! I have taken it to several pot lucks and EVERYONE wants the recipe! It is a Thanksgiving favorite!! I use apple pie filling but take the apples and slice them a bit thinner than what comes in the can. I just sprinkle the apples with a little extra cinnamon. Makes making this pie even easier to make than before!

This pie is extremely good. Just thinking about it makes me want to bake it. There are no crumbs left and it is so easy to make when using Pillsbury Pie Crusts.
