Skillet Apple is a classic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. This double crust apple pie bakes in a cast iron skillet for a delicious flaky crust filled with cinnamon apples.
Our homemade Cinnamon Ice Cream is the perfect topping for warm apple pie, Apple Crisp or Fresh Apple Cake.
The smell of warm apple pie is just about impossible to beat and who can resist a slice of apple pie topped with ice cream? This simple recipe is easy enough for any day of the week and delicious enough for holidays and special occasions.
The old saying goes, "as easy as pie" but I always take exception when it comes to the pie crust. I've been using this pie dough recipe for ages and it's pretty simple to make in the food processor and easy to roll out and shape. If I'm pinched for time, I like to use a store bought crust.

- Apples ~ Use your favorite variety: Honey Crisp, Granny Smith, Gala or Fuji are great options.
- Brown Sugar

Hi, I luv your recipes bust must comment that apple pie is not American although for some reason you do claim it as your own. As a Brit I find it irritating. Apple pie is English and originates from the 1300's. Americans do tend to do that though without the knowledge of the food's history on lots of foods. I'm not trying to be belligerent because I luv your stuff. Just needed a comment. See extract from web.
Americans had made the apple truly their own. But the apple pie isn’t a uniquely American dish either, Upton writes. “In fact, the first recorded recipe for apple pie was written in 1381 in England, and called for figs, raisins, pears, and saffron in addition to apples"
Cheers, John M.

Hi John,
I am so glad you are enjoying the recipes and appreciate your insight on the origins of apple pie. I have to admit that I didn't research it, it's just a saying here, as American as apple pie, ha! Well, maybe not. Thanks for the education 🙂
