Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 4-5 golden delicious apples
- 6 T butter, melted (unsalted)
- 6 T granulated sugar
- pie dough, either your own favorite recipe or store-bought
Instruction
- Preheat your oven to 425F.
- Peel, core and slice apples into eighths.
- Using an oven-safe skillet (cast iron works great), melt the butter over med-high heat. Sprinkle sugar over butter and stir. Continue cooking sugar and butter until it just starts to turn a deeper color (sort of a pale amber).
- Remove pan from heat and place apples in pan in a circular pattern (be careful, the sugar mixture is extremely hot). Place back on heat and allow to cook for about 7-8 minutes longer, or until the bottoms of the apples are nicely browned. (At this point, if you have any extra apple slices you can fit them in now that some of the apples have cooked down). Flip apples and cook for another 7-8 minutes until the other sides are nicely browned.
- Remove pan from heat and quickly top the apples with pie dough. (If your skillet is smaller than the dough you can either cut it to fit or just allow the edges to come up and over the edge of the pan; I like to leave it a bit larger). Make a few slits in the top of dough to allow steam to escape.
- Place pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes or so, until the crust is golden brown. Remove pan from oven (don't forget that the handle will be hot!) and immediately flip onto a wired rack (put foil, parchment paper, etc. under it to catch the drips).
- Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
