Easy Skillet Apple Pie

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!


Ingredients:
2 lb. Granny Smith apples
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.

Ready for the oven!


Can you smell it baking??!!

From Twigs to Trees!

OK, girlfriends, I'm ready to show you what I have been working on for weeks and weeks.  I told you I was working on something for two special people - it is done!  Let me tell you who, what, when, where, and why.  For as long as I can remember I have given my girls a "Happy December" present.  I just love the Christmas season so much that I am ready to begin the celebration.  So on December 1 I would have a gift for my kids.  They might come home from school and find a Christmas shirt on their bed or I would present them with Christmas socks or a Christmas trinket, maybe cookie cutters or sticker book.  Just something.   For fun!  This year I made: Grapevine Christmas trees!!!!  I had lots of help!  My sister, Nancy, Mark, and Hank all helped me gather the vines.  Poor Hank got poison twice from helping me find vines!  Then I wrapped the vines around a tomato cage using the vines and thin wire. ...

One Month To Live

Have you ever focused on life on those terms.....one month, 30 days, and it is over?  There is a book by Kerry and Chris Shook entitled just that.  "One Month To Live."  If you consider, contemplate, study this aspect of life in an honest for real way - you just might begin to walk a little differently. This past Sunday, my husband introduced this thought of what would we do if we knew we only had one month to live.  He passed out 3 X 5 cards and asked everyone to write what they would do.  I will tell you the expanded version of what I wrote. 1.  I would like to spend time with my family (bonus: at the beach) so I could enjoy the love and laughter and fun we always share.  I would want time with my kids so I could tell them how awesome they are, how proud they make me feel because of their heart they each have for God, because of the love they share with one another, and because of the way I see them care for those around them.   I love to see...
