A cast iron skillet is a perfect vessel for a deep-dish rustic pie. The easy pre-made puff pastry crust crisps up and puffs for extra height. Having this pie on the table is an instant centerpiece!

Preparation
STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

STEP 2

Peel and slice apples and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

STEP 3

Prepare the crust by coating a 10-inch cast iron skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Line the bottom and sides of the skillet with 2 pieces of puff pastry, layering and slicing pastry as needed to completely cover the skillet.

STEP 4

Mix flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, melted butter and salt in a large bowl. Toss and coat well with cooked apples and add to the prepared skillet.

STEP 5

Cut remaining 1 sheet of puff pastry into 12 strips and lattice the top of the pie. You will have 6 rows in both directions.

STEP 6

Increase oven temperature to 400°F.

STEP 7

Brush the top of the pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and allow to rest before cutting and serving (even overnight).

Options

To make cinnamon sugar mix a 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 2 tablespoons cinnamon.
