Upside Down Butterscotch Apple Pie #HolidayButter #shop

CB Disclosure White Background 600 px wide

My husband loves the holidays for multiple reasons, but one of the main reasons is because he says that I cook and make foods that I don’t make the other 330 days out of the year. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas, he asks, “Why don’t you make this in the summer?”. Holiday baking is my absolute favorite. I like baking for friends, family, potlucks, and Christmas parties. I always make sure to have a yummy baked good to take everywhere that we go. It’s just part of the togetherness of the season. And there’s nothing that supports unity like a little bit of butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, apples, and butterscotch. Welcome to our family favorite- Upside Down Butterscotch Apple Pie.

I’ve made several varieties of upside down pies over the years. Upside down pies take a small amount of more effort, but they are a visual ‘wowza’! See the gooey butter-sugar-honey-almond layer in the bottom of the pie pan?

Before baking, the pie looks like any ol’ apple pie, but the end result is anything but ordinary!

Land O’ Lakes is my go-to butter choice for recipes. In the past, I always had difficulty finding unsalted butter, but Land O’ Lakes has it available in full sticks AND half sticks. Land O’ Lakes has more awesome recipes in their Holiday GiftGiving Recipe Brochure!
