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).
