Upside-Down Apple Cobbler

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup firmly packed
3 cups Granny Smith (or other tart variety) apple slices
2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate, thawed
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 refrigerated pie crust
Whipped cream or ice cream

Melt butter in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet; add sugar and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat 3 minutes or until bubbly. Remove from heat, and cool slightly. Arrange apple slices over sugar mixture. Drizzle apple slices with orange juice and lemon juice. Sprinkle with cinnamon and allspice. Unfold pastry and cut a circle 10 inches across. Remove and discard trimmings. Place circle over apples (do not seal pastry to skillet). Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, and cool for about 5 minutes. Invert onto a serving dish, and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
