Recipe Introduction

This is not really a pie or a cake.Arlene's comments: says she found this a long time ago for an upside down apple pie made with Jonathan apples. This is also known as Brother Jonathan Pie.

List of Ingredients

Upside Down Apple Cake, (Brother Jonathan Pie)

2 - 3 pounds peeled, cut Jonathan apples, enough
... to fill the pie plate you will be using
thick pie crust, or grand biscuits, pressed together
...to form a crust
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces

Grease a pie plate.
Place apples in the pie plate, heaping slightly.
Place biscuit dough or pie crust over apples.
Seal edges to plate as best as possible.
Cut steams slits.
Bake at 425 degrees F. on the lower oven shelf until crust
is golden, about 30 minutes.
Mix together cinnamon and sugar.
When pie is done, place a serving plate over pie and quickly
flip, so that the crust is on the bottom of the plate and
the apples are on the top.
Sprinkle with sugar mixture and dot with butter.
Serve while still good and warm.

Note:
You can use this Cheese Crumb Topping instead,
if you wish.

3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
1/4 cup finely grated Cheddar cheese

Use an oven proof serving plate.
Mix all ingredients together.
After flipping pie, sprinkle this mixture over top.
Bake for another 15 - 20 minutes.
Sooo good.
