Iron Skillet Apple Pie

RECIPE: IRON SKILLET APPLE PIE

1 stick, plus 1 TBS butter

1 c brown sugar (can be cut in half)

1 c white sugar (can be cut in half)

1tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

4 c Granny Smith Apples, peeled and chopped into small pieces

1 box refrigerator piecrust (or homemade)

In large iron skillet, melt 1 stick of butter and 1 cup brown sugar (do not caramelize, just melt the two together). Cover with piecrust; add apples, ¾ c white sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Cover with top crust that has been slit in 3-4 places (I always cut a heart shape, feel free to choose your own cutout). Sprinkle top with remaining ¼ cup of sugar and dot with remaining TBS of butter.

Bake in 350-degree oven, for 30-45 minutes or until crust is brown and apples are tender.
