While apple pie is often regarded as a classic seasonal favorite, this skillet rendition brings an exciting twist. Begin by mixing Honeycrisp apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice, then layer them between two pie crusts simmered in a blend of brown sugar and cinnamon. To elevate the flavor, finish with a drizzle of caramel sauce for a decadently gooey dessert perfect for any evening.
Skillet Apple Pie with Caramel Sauce
4 large Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon, divided
1 tablespoon lemon juice
6 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup, plus 2 teaspoons, brown sugar
2 refrigerated pie crusts
2 teaspoons whipping cream
caramel sauce
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, mix together the apples with sugar, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, and lemon juice until they are well coated. Set aside for later use.
In a 10-inch nonstick skillet suitable for the oven, melt the butter. Stir in 1/4 cup of brown sugar and the remaining cinnamon, blending until homogeneous. Let it boil for 5-8 minutes.
Place one pie crust over the bubbling brown sugar mixture in the skillet. Layer the apple mixture on top, followed by the second pie crust. Be sure to cut slits into the top crust to allow steam to escape. Brush the crust with whipping cream and sprinkle with the remaining brown sugar.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust turns a golden brown shade.
Finish with a generous drizzle of caramel sauce.
