Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and let the magic begin!
In a 9-inch pie dish or cake pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble. The kitchen is already filled with a tantalizing aroma!
Add the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the melted butter, stirring until everything is beautifully combined. Cook for a couple of minutes until the mixture transforms into a smooth, bubbling caramel wonder.
Remove the pan from the heat and, with care, arrange the apple slices in the pan, ensuring they are layered evenly over the butter and sugar mixture. It’s like creating an apple masterpiece!
Roll out your pie crust and place it lovingly over the apples, tucking in the edges around the pan like a cozy blanket.
Make it even more magical by cutting a few small slits in the crust. This allows the tantalizing steam to escape during baking, making your pie perfect.
Place the pie dish or cake pan on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. The anticipation is building!
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few moments, though your kitchen is already filled with irresistible scents.
Carefully place a serving plate or platter over the pan, and using oven mitts or towels, flip the pie over onto the plate. This is where the magic happens! The caramelized apple topping becomes the crust.
Gently lift the pan off the pie, being cautious as the caramel may still be hot. It’s like revealing a sweet masterpiece!
Serve your Inverted Apple Pie warm or at room temperature. It’s a divine treat on its own but pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Pure delight awaits!
