History of this Caramel Apple Pie

This recipe comes from Arturo’s Mom and is a family favorite! Arturo and his brothers were in FFA growing up, and their chapter would have a pie auction for a fundraiser. This fundraiser was to support the livestock judging team. Each student had a fundraising quota to help pay for the trip to the state livestock judging contest at the end of the season. Whatever value each student’s pie sold for in the pie action went toward their quota. This apple pie was always a high seller, and Arturo and his brothers would argue over who got to make this pie for the annual action.

Tips on making the Skillet Carmel Apple Pie

• This recipe fits in our little 8” cast iron skillet. However, double the recipe if you want to make a full-size pie. You will also need a double batch of pie crust.
• Bake on a sheet pan lined with foil in case the pie drips.

How to make the Cast Iron Skillet Caramel Apple Pie

Preheat oven to 425.

Make your pie crust and let it chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling. 

Peel and slice the apples in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the brown sugar, cornstarch, 1 tsp. of cinnamon, butter, and salt, and mix well.

Next, divide the pie crust in half for a top and bottom crust, roll one-half out, and place it in the cast iron skillet for the bottom crust.

Then fill the pie shell in the cast iron skillet with the apple mixture. Roll out the remaining dough and place it on the filling mixture.

Bake the pie for 30  minutes or until it just turns golden brown. While the pie bakes, mix the topping. Combine the brown sugar, flour, butter, Karo syrup, and nuts to make the topping.

 After the pie has been baked for 30 minutes, spread over the top of the hot pie.

Return the pie to the oven for another 10 minutes.

Then enjoy!
