THE BEST Apple Pecan Pie

This is my all-time favorite way to make apple pie!!  I found this upside-down apple pecan pie recipe in a little Pillsbury “pie” cookbook years ago, it’s listed on their site as a “Bake Off” WINNER in 1951! It’s a self-glazing apple pie that tastes as wonderful as it looks!!!

It’s easy to make too!  Thanks to refrigerated pie crusts.  Of course, you could always make your own pie crust, if you’d like.  You will want to make enough for a 2-crust pie.

We’re going to make an apple pie that’s sure to knock their socks off!

Does The Crust Get Soggy?

**Many people ask if the top crust is soggy- the answer is no, it becomes part of the topping, so it’s more like a one-crust pie after it has baked.  Trust me on this!! I’ve made this pie more times than I can count over the last 20+ years, and I’m ALWAYS asked for the recipe!!
