Skillet Apple Pie
Ingredients
- 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
- 1/2 pkg frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1/4 cup salted butter
- 1/2 cup packed golden brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
Directions
- Place a 10 inch cast iron frypan on barbecue grid on natural gas barbecue. Heat frypan over medium heat for 10 minutes.
- Cut apples in half lengthwise. Slice each half crosswise into 3 equal pieces; set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry into an 11 inch circle; set aside.
- Melt butter in frypan on barbecue grid. Add brown sugar and stir to combine.
- Arrange apple pieces, overlapping slightly, in a single layer in frypan. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Carefully place pastry on top of apples, tucking edges of pastry in between apples and frypan with a knife.
- Brush pastry with egg. Cut vents in pastry to allow steam to escape.
- With lid down, bake pie, rotating frypan after 10 minutes, until golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 20 minutes. Cool pie on a rack for 30 minutes
