How to Make Flip Flop Pie

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Spread the butter-sugar mixture evenly in a 9-inch pie plate.
Arrange pecan halves in a decorative pattern on top of the butter-sugar mixture, pressing them gently into the sugar.
Carefully place one unbaked pie crust over the pecans. Trim and crimp the edges, leaving about 1/2 inch of overhang.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Mound the apple mixture evenly onto the bottom crust.
Top with the second pie crust (optionally pre-bake for 10 mins at 375°F to prevent sogginess).
Fold the bottom crust over the top crust, wetting the edges to seal. Crimp the edges decoratively and prick the top crust with a fork several times to allow steam to escape.
Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (232°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with only a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the pie cool slightly on a wire rack before inverting. Once the syrup in the pan has stopped bubbling vigorously, carefully place a serving plate upside down over the pie and invert.
Remove the pie plate and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
