Ingredients That Shine
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious pie:
- 6 to 8 ripe apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (or your favorite homemade recipe)
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Let’s Get Cooking!
Now that we’ve got everything we need, let’s dive into the steps to make this pie pop!
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). We want it nice and hot, just like Grandma used to do.
- Peel and slice the apples into thin slices. In a large bowl, toss the apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Make sure everything is well coated with that sweet goodness.
- Roll out one of the pie crusts into a 10-inch iron skillet or pie dish. Don’t forget to have fun with it!
- Pour the apple mixture into the crust, making sure it’s well spread out. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
- Cover with the second pie crust and seal the edges. You can make some cute slits on top for ventilation. Let that steam escape!
- Brush the top crust with a beaten egg to get that golden color, and pop the pie in the oven.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are bubbling like a happy pot of joy.
- Let it cool for a bit, slice it up, and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or just on its own!
There you have it, a delicious homemade Grandma’s Iron Skillet Apple Pie that will have everyone asking for seconds. Get ready for hugs and high-fives as you share this delightful treat!
