Provided by Dianne Hocut

Categories     Pies

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 braeburn apples, peeled and sliced
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
3/4 c granulated sugar
1 stick butter
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 pkg refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
1 egg white, stirred till frothy
extra sugar for top
1 10 inch iron skillet

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Toss apples, cinnamon, and granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • 3. Set a 10 inch iron skillet with the butter and brown sugar in the heated oven. Let this melt while stirring once or twice. When melted remove from oven and stir till blended.
  • 4. Place one of the pie crusts over the brown sugar mixture in the skillet. Top with the apple mixture. Place the other crust over the apples. Crimp the two crusts together, brush the crust with the egg white, sprinkle the top with extra sugar, cut a few slits in the top, and bake for about 1 hour 15 minutes. Spoon out servings and add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use very cold butter and work quickly. You can also freeze the dough for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • When rolling out the dough, don't overwork it. Just roll it out until it's about 1/8-inch thick.
  • To prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. Leave about an inch of space around the edges so that the filling has room to bubble up.
  • To prevent a runny filling, toss the apples with sugar and cornstarch before adding them to the pie crust.
  • Brush the top crust with milk or cream before baking for a golden brown crust.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
