I want to share this really easy recipe with you. It is from the September 2011 Southern Living Magazine. I made it for a co-workers birthday. While it was baking in the oven our mouths were watering big time. Yum!
Apples, sugar, cinnamon, butter, egg whites, and pie crusts. Basic pie!
2 lb. Braeburn apples (my grocery store did not have Braeburn so I used Gala)
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 (14 oz) package refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg white
2 Tbsp granulated sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel apples, and cut into 1/2 inch thick wedges. Toss apples with cinnamon and 3/4 cup 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 degrees for 1 hour to 1 hour and 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.
