Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Combine caramel ingredients in the bottom of a deep dish pie pan. Place one of the pie crusts in the pan, on top of the caramel mixture. Allow the crust to extend over the rim of the pan.

Arrange apple slices in the pan. Sprinkle with sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Dot evenly with the slices of butter, then sprinkle with lemon juice.

Cover pie with top crust, trim and crimp edge. Poke holes with fork to vent. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees. Bake an additional 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Approximately one-half hour before serving time return to oven for a few minutes to loosen caramel. (This may also be done by placing the pie in a microwave oven for 30 seconds or so) Invert pie on a large plate and serve caramel side up.

Rosemary Says: Many years ago, I read a book that had this recipe in the story. I tried it on my family and it has been served every Thanksgiving to our family. They ask for it for their birthday instead of cake. It is very gooey so I usually bake it with a drip pan under it so the oven will not get messy. It may also be topped with ice cream. That makes it even richer but sooo good!
