How to Make Upside Down Southern Apple Pecan Pie
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Place softened butter in the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate and spread evenly.
- Arrange pecan halves evenly around the bottom of the pie plate.
- Sprinkle 2/3 cup (0.67 cup) of the brown sugar over the pecans.
- Gently press one pie crust into the bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. Trim any excess pastry.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/3 cup (0.33 cup) brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and flour.
- Add the spice mixture to the apples and gently toss to combine.
- Evenly spoon the apple mixture over the crust in the pie plate.
- Place the remaining pie crust over the apple filling.
- Crimp and flute the edges of the crust to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (232°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and continue baking for 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pie cool for at least 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate.
