Grandma’s Iron Skillet Apple Pie

This apple pie only takes a few minutes to put together, and it has a few unique characteristics that make the taste unforgettable. The mix of Granny Smith and Braeburn apples gives the filling a bright blend of crisp and sweet apple flavor, while the bottom crust bakes in a thin layer of brown sugar caramel simmering on the surface of the cast-iron skillet, making for a gooey and delicious caramel-infused pastry. Serve this apple pie with rich Butter-Pecan ice cream for a showstopping dessert perfect for your autumn table.

Making an apple pie has never been so easy. Simply toss apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar, and spoon over a refrigerated pie crust in the cast-iron skillet. Top with the other crust and bake.

I made an apple pie yesterday. It was probably the biggest and best apple pie I ever made. My intention was to simply use up some apples, but when it came time to choose a recipe, I went for the gold. I really did. This apple pie is like none other I’ve ever made and I’m going to share my experience with you below.
