#BakeforACure - Upside Down Apple Pie - #SundaySupper

Besides the pink ribbon, there are other ways to raise awareness of cancer.  One of them is as "easy as pie" - literally. Chantal would like to encourage us all to Bake for a Cure!

  We have the opportunity to work with Chantal Cookware for this fun #SundaySupper event.  The newest product from Chantal is their Easy as Pie-Dish.   This new pie dish simplifies the art of pie baking and it is pretty enough to display in your kitchen. 

Scalloped edges to help make the perfect crust!

Oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.

 Chantal will be running an on-line promotion during the #BakeforACure event.  The promotion includes a discount coupon code > BAKE4CURE.  The discount will be 20% off all Chantal pie dishes.  The code must be entered at checkout to receive the discount.  The coupon discount code is active October 16, 2012 through October 30, 2012 - so ladies and gentlemen...start your ovens!

Baking is good for the soul, as anyone who loves to bake - or loves to eat freshly baked cookies warm from the oven, can surely tell you.

All the baked goods we are making for this event will be taken to a medical cancer treatment professional or someone who has been affected by cancer.   Count your blessings and bake a pie!

This pie is everyone's favorite.  It looks and tastes like a giant apple cinnamon-sticky bun.

Upside-down Apple Pie

Crust:

·         2 cups all-purpose flour

·         1/2 tsp. salt

·         6 Tbsp. shortening

·         2 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter

·         5 to 7 Tbsp. orange juice

Filling:

·         6 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted, divided

·         1/2 cup packed brown sugar

·         1/2 cup chopped pecans

·         1 cup sugar

·         1/3 cup all-purpose flour

·         3/4 tsp. cinnamon

·         1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

·         8 cups thinly sliced peeled, tart apples

Glaze:

·         1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

·         2 to 3 tsp. orange juice

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening and butter until crumbly.  Gradually add orange juice, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball.  Divide dough into two balls.  Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Line your deep-dish pie plate with heavy-duty foil, leaving 1-1/2 inches beyond the edge.  Coat foil with cooking spray.  Combine 4 Tbsp. butter, brown sugar and pecans; spoon into prepared pie plate.

In a bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, apples and remaining butter; toss gently.

Roll out one ball of pastry to fit pie plate.  Place pastry over nut mixture, pressing firmly against mixture and sides of plate.  Trim to 1 inch beyond plate filling.  Fill with apple mixture.

Roll out remaining pastry to fit top of pie; place over filling.  Trim to 1/4 inch beyond plate edge.  Fold bottom pastry over top pastry; seal and flute edges.  Cut for 1 inch slits in top pastry.

Bake at 375 degrees F. for 50 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown.  Cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack. 

Invert onto a serving platter; carefully remove foil.  Combine the glaze ingredients and drizzle over pie.
