Recipe View Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

For a richer flavor, consider browning the butter on the stovetop before melting it in the skillet.
If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the amount of granulated sugar used in the filling.
To prevent the crust from browning too quickly, you can cover the edges with aluminum foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties! Honeycrisp or Fuji apples would also work well.
Make sure the skillet is hot when you place the first pie crust on it. That helps to create a good seal to the bottom of the crust.

    The cast iron skillet gives the crust such a unique texture. It's so much better than a regular pie pan.
