Pie season is here and this Cast Iron Apple Pie is a fun variation on a classic. Cinnamon sugar coated apples sandwiched between two layers of flaky pastry crust and baked in a cast iron skillet.
Place butter in 10" cast iron skillet and place in oven. Melt butter.
Remove skillet and add brown sugar to butter, stir until brown sugar melts. Return to oven for a few minutes if necessary.
Place one pie crust on top of the melted butter/brown sugar mixture. Return to oven and bake for 10 minutes.
Mix together sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour.
Place sliced apples in a large bowl and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture.
Add apples to skillet and dot with butter.
Place second pie crust on top. Cut 3-4 slits in pie crust to allow for steam to escape.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until apples are tender and pie crust is golden brown.
Allow pie to cool for a bit and serve warm with ice cream.
Notes
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you could also use any 10 inch oven safe skillet or pan. A 9 x 9 inch square baking dish would also work.If the crust begins to brown too quickly, cover with a piece of foil for the remainder of the baking time.
