Instructions: In this recipe, it is the construction that is important. Get the apples and spices ready for your favorite 9" pie. Prepare or buy 2 pie crusts. Now get your pie pan ready. My daughter uses a pyrex pie pan. Butter the pie pan completely, and well. Dont miss a spot. Use the entire 1/2 cup of butter and get the sides too. Place the pecans in the bottom of the pie pan, and sprinkle with the brown sugar. Now, put your bottom pie crust on top of the pecans. In fact, forget that they are there. Just proceed with your apple pie, as usual, with one exception. You dont want a bulging pie, kinda firm and flat. When you have both crusts sealed and fluted, bake at 400 degrees for exactly 50 min. Cool for 5 min. on a rack and turn out on a serving dish immediately. When you do this, you are flipping it over so that the pecans are on the top, and the usual top of the pie is on the bottom.

This recipe is my daughter, Loiss. She says that you must flip it out after 5 min. or the butter and sugar will harden and you wont get it out.

Let me tell you it is always a hit and people are astounded. The combination of the sugar, pecans and apple pie are delicious. You should keep your apple pie filling on the tart side. I hope you enjoy this as much
