Open Faced Brown Butter Spiced Apple Pie
"This rustic pie is like a tart on steroids. Deep flavor and large apple slices make a dramatic presentation for any dinner party. The spices and brown butter really change the flavor profile of the pie and make it feel holiday but in truth you can serve it anytime you want. I certainly did, in mid January when I made it for my family. One thing to note, make sure to read the recipe thoroughly and take into account the time it will take for each step (the crust and apples need to baked separately before assembled and baked again)...."
