Paula Deen’s Iron Skillet Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup white sugar

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3. Unroll pie crusts and place one in the skillet over the apple mixture. Brush the crust with egg white. Use a sharp knife to cut slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. Sprinkle sugar over the top if desired.
