Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. In a 9-inch cast-iron skillet, melt the butter. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the melted butter for later use.

  3. Add the brown sugar to the melted butter and melt them together on medium heat for about 2 minutes.

  4. Remove the skillet from heat and line it with one of the pie crusts.

  5. Pour the apple pie filling over the crust and sprinkle it with 1 tablespoon of cinnamon sugar.

  6. Use the second pie crust to cover the filling.

  7. Brush the top crust with the reserved melted butter.

  8. Evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon of cinnamon sugar on top.

  9. Cut vents in the middle of the pie.

  10. Bake the pie for 30 minutes.

  11. Serve the pie hot, topped with a generous dollop of cinnamon whipped cream.

  12. For the cinnamon whipped cream, chill a large metal mixing bowl and a wire beater attachment in the freezer for about 20 minutes.

  13. In the cold mixing bowl, combine the cream, cinnamon, and sugar.

  14. Beat the mixture until soft peaks form, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. The mixture should hold its shape when dropped from a spoon. Avoid overbeating to prevent it from turning into sweetened butter.

Frequently asked questions

. Can I use pre-made pie crust for this recipe?

Yes, you can certainly use pre-made pie crust if you're short on time. However, nothing beats the taste and texture of a homemade crust. It's worth the extra effort!

. Can I substitute the apples with other fruits?

While this recipe specifically calls for apples, you can experiment with other fruits like pears or peaches. Just make sure to adjust the sugar and spices accordingly.

. Can I make the whipped cream ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the cinnamon whipped cream a few hours in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. Give it a quick whisk before dolloping it on top of the pie.

. Can I freeze the leftover pie?

Absolutely! Just wrap the pie tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. When you're ready to enjoy it again, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat it in the oven.

Of course! Chopped walnuts or pecans can add a delightful crunch to the apple filling. Feel free to get creative and experiment with different nuts.

. How long does the pie need to cool before serving?

It's best to let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set and prevents it from being too runny.
