Semi-Homemade Cast-Iron Apple Pie
No time to make apple pie from scratch? No worries! Try this semi-homemade version that looks as good as it tastes in a cast-iron skillet.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- Cast-iron skillet
Ingredients
- 2 tsp oil for the pan
- 2 pie crusts defrosted
- 1 tsp cinnamon optional
- 1 tsp nutmeg optional
- 2 21-oz cans apple fie filling
- 1 egg white
- whipped cream or ice cream on the side
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Rub oil into a small skillet. Place one pie shell in the skillet.
- In a large bowl, stir the cinnamon and nutmeg into the apple pie filling if desired. Add the pie filling to the skillet.
- Cut slits into the second pie shell and place it on top of apple pie filling. (The slits ensure the heat can escape without causing the filling to bubble over.) Brush egg white onto the pie shell so it can bake to a beautiful golden brown.
- Bake 40 minutes or until crust is nice and golden.
- Let the pie rest up to ten minutes. Then serve in the pan with whipped cream or ice cream.
