Easy Skillet Apple Pie

I am in looooove with this pie y’all.  A few years ago I made a from-scratch apple pie (even the crust, shocker I know) and yes it was delicious, but I have to say this pie is way better and about a million trillion times easier to make. 

I totally saw this recipe on Trisha’s Southern Kitchen on The Food Network and was sold right away at the ease of this pie and immediately put it on my cheat day list to make. 

Y’all, the caramelization that happens on the bottom and sides of the crust on this pie is what really puts it over the edge of awesome.  You will have the whole, eye roll, holy junk, this is amazing, can’t stop eating it, moment I promise. 

Oh, and the whipped cream?! I changed it up from the original recipe, and may I humbly say made it even better?  Oh yeah, I did…It tastes more like a rich buttercream frosting than whipped cream because of the extra sugar, the added brown sugar and a bit more cinnamon. 

If you think you can’t make a homemade (well, semi-homemade) apple pie, trust me you can definitely whip this up no problem.  Have an awesome day y’all!    

First, melt some butter in your skillet…

now add some brown sugar…

all melted and mixed together…

now remove from the heat and add your pie crust…

add your pie filling and sprinkle some of the cinnamon/sugar mixture…

time for the 2nd pie crust to go on top, and just fold in the extra pie crust, no need to be perfect either…

now some more butter, and cinnamon and sugar…

then cut some vents…

had to show all the edges bubbling up all gorgeous in the oven mmmm…

fresh out of the oven, look at all of that caramel goodness…

now time for some cinnamon whipped cream, heavy whipping cream and sugar into the bowl…

all whipped up…

now time for brown sugar and cinnamon…

look how pretty and yummy…

onto your pie and enjoy!!

THE APPLE PIE

1. 1 Stick (1/2 Cup) of Unsalted Butter.
2. 1 Cup of Light Brown Sugar.
3. 2 Refrigerated Rolled Pie Crusts (I Used Pillsbury).
4. 1 (21 Ounce) Can of Apple Pie Filling.
5. 1 Tablespoon of Cinnamon, 2 Tablespoons of Sugar (For Cinnamon Sugar Mixture).
6. 9" Cast Iron Skillet.

THE CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM

1. 2 Cups of Heavy Whipping Cream.
2. 1 Cup of Granulated Sugar.
3. 2 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar.
4. 1 Tablespoon of Cinnamon.

FOR THE APPLE PIE

1. Take your pie crusts out to sit at room temperature for at least 20 minutes, so they will roll out nicely.
2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
3. Place your skillet on your stove-top and melt the butter, reserving 1 tablespoon of the butter.
4. Then add the brown sugar to the butter and melt them together on medium heat, about 2 minutes.
5. Remove your skillet from the heat and place one of your pie crusts on top of the butter/sugar mixture, lining your skillet.
6. Now pour your apple pie filling over the crust and evenly sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the pie filling.
7. Now place the other pie crust over the filling, folding inwards any of the extra crust.
8. Brush the top of the pie with the reserved melted butter, then sprinkle the rest of the cinnamon/sugar mixture over the top of the pie.
9. Cut vents in the middle of the pie.
10. Bake for 30 minutes.
11. You can either serve warm, or you can let cool and top with the cinnamon whipped cream.

FOR THE CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM

1. With a handheld or stand mixer with whisk attachment, in your bowl place your heavy whipping cream and granulated sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
2. Now add your brown sugar and cinnamon and beat again until evenly combined.
3. You can either pipe or dollop your cinnamon whipped cream onto your pie, enjoy!
