Equipment
- 10" cast iron skillet
Materials
- 2 pie crusts homemade or store bought
- 2 Granny Smith apples peeled and sliced into ¼-inch slices
- 3 Honeycrisp apples peeled and sliced into ¼-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons butter cubed
- ½ cup maple syrup
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar divided
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar to top on crust
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add apples to medium mixing bowl.
- Add to apples, maple syrup, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, apple pie spice, and vanilla and butter cubes and mix well.
- Place bottom pie crust in 10" cast iron skillet, pressing it into the shape of the skillet.
- Spoon apple mixture inside the pie crust. Make sure the pie has enough room to vent.
- Cut one pie crust into eight strips. Lay the first one down on one edge of the skillet. Lay another atop that one going the opposite direction. Repeat the up and down pattern, interlacing the pie crust strips to create a basket or lattice pattern.
- Pinch edges of the top and bottom crust together to seal. Brush top crust with egg wash and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
- Let rest for 10 minutes to setup before serving.
Notes
- Skip the Lattice Pattern: Cover with the remaining crust rolled out in a circle. Place 4 small decorative slits in the center of the top crust for venting.
- Crisper Apples in Your Pie? Slice apples ½-inch thick to help them hold their shape while baking. It makes a pie with hearty apple slices!
- Watch the Bake: Keep an eye on the crust—it should be golden brown with bubbling caramelized filling. Overbaking dries out the apples, so pull it when just right!
