Spiced Upside-Down Apple Pie image

My grandma taught me to make this pie when I was 4. Over the years, I've kept it about the same with just a few changes. Flip it out the second it stops bubbling. The glaze makes it look especially delicious. -Francine Bryson, Pickens, South Carolina

This pie was a disappointment. The crust was soggy and the filling was bland.

I found this pie to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar.

The filling of this pie is delicious, but the crust was a bit too dry for my taste.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! I used a pre-made pie crust to save time, and it still came out perfect.

I'm not usually a fan of upside-down cakes, but this one was really good. The apples were perfectly caramelized and the cake was moist and flavorful.

This upside-down apple pie was a hit with my family! The combination of spices in the filling was perfect, and the crust was flaky and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
