Categories: Pies

Ingredients

  • Skillet Apple Pie:
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 refrigerated rolled pie crusts
  • One 21-ounce can apple pie filling
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
  • Cinnamon Whipped Cream:
  • 2 cups whipping cream, chilled
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 tablespoons sugar

Directions

  1. For the skillet apple pie:

  2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  3. Melt the butter in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet; set aside 1 tablespoon of the melted butter for the top crust.

  4. To the melted butter, add the brown sugar and melt them together on medium heat, about 2 minutes.

  5. Remove from the heat and line the skillet with one of the pie crusts.

  6. Pour the apple pie filling over the crust and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar.

  7. Use the second pie crust to cover the filling. Brush the top with the reserved melted butter.

  8. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar on top.

  9. Cut vents in the middle of the pie.

  10. Bake for 30 minutes.

  11. Serve hot, topped with a generous dollop of cinnamon whipped cream.

  12. For the cinnamon whipped cream:

  13. Chill a large metal mixing bowl and a wire beater attachment in the freezer for about 20 minutes.

  14. Pour the cream, cinnamon and sugar into the cold mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes; the mixture should hold its shape when dropped from a spoon.

  15. Don’t overbeat or you’ll have sweetened butter!
