This Upside-down Apple Pie reinvents a classic with its ingenious brown sugar-walnut base that becomes a caramelized topping when inverted. Thinly sliced apples are perfumed with cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of lemon for balanced flavor, while the unique pastry crust creates flaky texture. Served warm with the nutty caramel dripping down the sides, this showstopping dessert elevates traditional apple pie to new heights of deliciousness.
The original recipe didnโ€™t have a temperature, so pick your favorite apple pie temp.

๐Ÿ™„ Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
๐ŸŒ„ Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
๐Ÿ’ฏ Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
