Pour into pie plate. Tilt the pie plate so that the caramel covers bottom and sides of plate ( quickly before hardening ) Prepare 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Put 5 tablespoons of sweet butter in a saucepan and melt, add apples ¼ of sugar and lemon zest. Cook for 5 minutes, pour on a tray to cool down. Arrange apple slices from the middle of the pie plate out, keep going until you reach the edge of the pie plate. Remember that once this pie is upside down, you want a nice display of apples . Fill the rest of the apples on top of the arranged slices. Unroll your prepared pie dough on top of the apples. Brush the dough with an egg wash. Bake 400 degree oven for 45 minutes. Once baked, let it rest for 10 minutes. Slide a knife around the sides to loosen from sides then put a platter on top of the pie and turn upside down. ( garnish with an apricot glaze and almonds, choice is yours)
There are many variations, this one is easy to make.
