This only works if you still have the older version of the app in your iTunes. Also, when you open iTunes, you will need to go to the apps tab under iTunes and put a check at the particular app to reinstall the older version to your iPhone. When you delete the app from your iOS device, it is automatically unchecked in the sync apps tab in iTunes.
