Course Dessert
Author Amye Melton

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Granny Smith apples
  • 2 pounds Braeburn apples
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 (14.1-ounce package) refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉.
  • Peel apples, and cut into 1/2-inch thick wedges. Toss apples with cinnamon and 3/4 c. granulated sugar.
  • Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; add brown sugar, and cook stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and place 1 pie crust in skillet over brown sugar mixture.
  • Spoon apple mixture over pie crust, and top with remaining pie crust.
  • Whisk egg white until foamy. Brush top of pie crust with egg white; sprinkle with 2 tbsp. granulated sugar. Cut 4 or 5 slits in top for steam to escape.
  • Bake at 350℉ for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly, shielding with aluminum foil during last 10 minutes to prevent excessive browning, if necessary.
  • Cool on a wire rack 30 minutes before serving.
