Ingredients

To make this delicious apple pie, gather the following ingredients:

• 4 cups of sliced apples (about 4 to 5 medium-sized apples)
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter
• 1 ready-made pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• Optional: vanilla ice cream for serving

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to whip up your Skillet Apple Pie:

1. Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss the apples well to coat them evenly with the mixture.
3. Place your skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once it melts, add the apple mixture to the skillet. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften.
4. Remove the skillet from the heat. Lay the pie crust over the apple filling, carefully tucking the edges around the apples and cutting a few slits in the top crust for ventilation.
5. Beat the egg and brush it over the top crust to give it a beautiful golden shine while it bakes.
6. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
7. Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
8. Enjoy your pie warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

This Easy Skillet Apple Pie is a delightful treat that brings back memories of home. Its simple preparation makes it a wonderful dessert for both seasoned bakers and beginners alike. Enjoy every delicious bite!
