HOW TO MAKE GRANDMA’S IRON SKILLET APPLE PIE
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C.
Step 2: Add half a cup of butter in a heavy cast-iron skillet. Place in the oven to melt the butter. When melted, remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle in the brown sugar. Then, place the skillet back in the oven.

Top the crust with half of the sliced apples, then, sprinkle half a cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon on top. Add the next pie layer on top of the apples, then, top with the rest of the sliced apples before sprinkling over the remaining half a cup of sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Then, third crust, and sprinkle over 1/4 cup of sugar and a dot of butter (1 tablespoon).
Step 4: For the steam, cut 4 slits on top of the crust.
Step 5: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and serve warm. Enjoy!
