Ingredients
 -

* 1 pastry for a 9 inch double crust pie
* 4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
* 1 tablespoon lemon juice
* 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
* 1 tablespoon butter, melted
* 1 tablespoon corn syrup
* 1/3 cup chopped pecans
* 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
* 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out pie crusts, and set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice; set aside.
2. Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, butter and corn syrup; spread in bottom of a 9 inch pie dish (glass or ceramic works best). Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cover with one pie crust. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
3. Arrange half of the apples in pastry lined plate. Sprinkle with half the brown sugar mixture. Repeat layers. Cover with remaining pie crust, fold top edge under, and crimp. Cut a few slits in the top to vent steam.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes. Loosen edge of pie, and carefully invert pie onto a serving dish. Serve warm.

There is something wrong with your recipe! I see two pies, one with apples, one with pecans. How are they combined?

it is one pie, the pecans are on the top after you flip it over
you have to read the recipe very carefully.
Cover with one pie crust. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
3. Arrange half of the apples in pastry lined plate. Sprinkle with half the brown sugar mixture. Repeat layers. Cover with remaining pie crust, fold top edge under, and crimp. Cut a few slits in the top to vent steam.

Thank you, now I get it, its a layered apple cake. New to me. In Europe we have the upside down Tarte Tatin which is one layer of halved apples, laid in the buttery caramel sauce you make first, and then covered with a pie crust which you tuck in. Or the Dutch Applecake, normal bottom side down, a pie crust filled with sugared appleslices, perhaps sprinkled with nuts, with a lattice layer of pastry to cover. Eaten with whipped cream.

[Many types, should not look too neat]


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tarte_Tatin

Some history First

Then the classical recipe, next the variations; in Dutch! I would use store bought feuillète, which acts perfectly.
