Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pie crusts, chilled
  • 3 lbs apples, mixed tart and sweet
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water

Method
 

  1. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add apples, both sugars, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook 8 to 10 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water until smooth, then pour into the skillet. Stir 1 to 2 minutes until the filling thickens. Remove from heat.
  3. Roll one pie crust to 13 inches and fit into the skillet over the apples. Spoon the apple mixture evenly on top, along with any juices.
  4. Roll the second crust to 12 inches, place over the filling, fold the bottom overhang up, and crimp to seal. Cut four steam vents and brush with egg wash.
  5. Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes, then reduce to 375°F and bake 20 to 25 minutes more, until deep golden and bubbling.
  6. Cool at least 1 hour, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

The 1-hour rest is important for the filling to set, so it won’t run when you slice. If you prefer a slightly warm pie, you can serve it after about 30 minutes, but expect some juices to escape.
