Ingredients
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 6 medium apples—peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
- 2 9-inch pie crusts, homemade or the refrigerated pre-rolled kind
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
Preparation Instructions
- Prepare to bake—Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix the filling—In a large bowl, stir together apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Make the caramel—Place butter in a 9-inch ceramic non-stick skillet and melt over medium-high heat. When butter is melted, stir in brown sugar and cook, stirring frequently, until brown sugar is melted. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the pie—Lay one of the pie crusts over the brown sugar mixture—use caution since the ceramic non-stick skillet will be hot. Add apples to ceramic non-stick skillet and top with second crust. Brush top crust with butter, sprinkle with sugar, and cut slits in top to allow steam to escape.
- Bake the pie—Bake in preheated oven until apples are fork tender and crust is beautifully golden, about 45 minutes. Allow pie to cool in ceramic non-stick skillet for about 30 minutes before serving—if you can wait that long. Top slices with a dollop of whipped cream or scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips
Pick the Best Apples
Some swear by Granny Smiths, while others prefer Pink Lady or Honeycrisp. We like to add a mix of two or three varieties for a tasty blend of sweet and tart, firm and tender.
Make it Easier
Our GreenPan Diamond Ceramic Nonstick Frypans effortlessly release sticky apple pie, and the extra nonstick coating makes cleanup incredibly quick and simple.
