Best apple pie you’ll ever eat!
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 refrigerated 9-inch pie crusts, divided
- 5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place butter in a large iron skillet and place in preheating oven until melted, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir brown sugar into melted butter and place back in oven until bubbling, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Gently lay 1 pie crust on top of butter-brown sugar mixture, without pressing crust down. Arrange apple slices on top of pie crust.
Step 4
Mix white sugar, cinnamon, and flour together in a bowl; sprinkle over apple slices. Place the remaining pie crust over apple slices, making slits in the top crust for ventilation. Seal the 2 crusts together.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until top crust is lightly browned, about 45 minutes.

I am not a cook, nor a baker, I followed the directions exactly and it came out OMGood! I will make this again and again!
-
I made with a few times with adjustments and each time pie was wonderful. I mixed my sugar seasoning mix with apples before putting over pie crust. (seasons 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cloves, 1 tsp Apple Pie Spice) Next Time I will add 1-2 more apples. My skillet is bigger than 9″ so I gently stretched the 9″ room temp pre made pie crusts with rolling pin just a touch so I had a little edge to crimp and seal. No big deal if you don’t have enough pie crust to seal. The yummy sugar butter mix just oozes up over the top crust when it bakes but regardless put aluminum foil at bottom of oven to catch bubble over just in case. I also had to bake mine longer than the recommended 45 min at 350.
-
Loved it! So easy and so good! I did use a little egg white and water brushed over the top crust and sprinkled on some cinnamon sugar it made the pie look so pretty!
-
Husband loved it, went back for seconds imediatly. He said if an apple pie and a cinnamon roll had a baby this would be it. We like how the bottom almost crystalisezes. Super easy. I was making pie because I had a bag of apples that were to tart to eat plain so I made minor adjustments to make up for that. I added 1/8 tsp ground cloves and 2 dashes allspice to flour mixture. I later realized I added 2 tablespoons flour instead of 2 teaspoons like recipie said. (woowps, but still we Loved it). And like another reviewer said i tossed the apples in the flour mixture then added to crust. Everything else the same. Will for sure make again.
-
Easy and by far the best! I wasn’t able to connect the two crusts(top to bottom) but it was still awesome! It didn’t come out of skillet in slices more like globs of Apple pie like greatness. Made this twice and still getting requests for it!
-
What a great idea to bake this in a cast iron skillet. I always bake my fruit pies till they bubble, so, the skillet depth keeps the pie from overflowing. My daughter in law made this first, but found it too sweet. So I reduced both the brown sugar and the white sugar by half. (I did have sweet apples tho). I will definitely make this again, and, next time, will reduce the butter by half. Will let you know how it turns out! ps: don’t expect to even find that bottom crust after covering it with apples.
-
Absolutely wonderful. The caramel oozed up over the top crust and made for a spectacular presentation. I sprinkled sugar & cinnamon on the top crust.
-
Easy as pie.
-
Mercy! This is fantastic. My family is already planning the next time I make it. There is none left.
-
The only change that I made was to sprinkle both white and brown sugar on the top crust with the dotted butter.
It is the best pie that I have ever made! My husband said that it was so good that he could have eaten it without vanilla ice cream (that would have been a first). I will definitely make this again, and again. -
Wow! Only making Apple pie in cast iron from now on. Really really Good and so easy and fool proof to make like this.
Only change I may make next time, is less sugar; both the brown sugar in the beginning and the sugar mix to sprinkle on the apples as well. It was a little too much. -
Everyone loved it!
-
OMG… Dang Delicious…. I used a sweeter Apple. cut both sugars in half… sprayed the fry pan before melting the butter… I did a cinnamon sugar over the top crust.. my new go to for Apple pie… LOVED IT….
-
Made this for a dinner party. Had the apples sliced and ready in zip lock bag with lemon before hand to save time. It was a big hit!!
-
The only thing I added was a little caramel sauce and some whiskey for a kick.! Turned out delicious
-
I reduced both sugars to 3/4 cup. My family loved it!
-
It was a huge hit!! I brushed the top with milk and sprinkled sugar for a nice crunch sweet crust.
-
Loved it. Used Buttercrust Pastry Dough recipe. However, substituted butter for shortening.

I have made this pie several times and will make it again. Says a lot since I am not a pie maker. Easy enough I can make it and my guests always love it.
-
If I could give this more stars, I would! BEST apple pie I ever made and it is so easy. Fantastic!!!
-
This is so sticky and gooey- my husband, a pie traditionalist, said it’s not really a pie, but more like a caramel apple gooey mess. It’s delicious, would totally make again. Much easier than expected, particularly with store bought pie crust. Would make again! (I’ll note- my husband still had two slices!)
-
I used a couple of extra apples and decreased the sugar a little
It was awesome. I?ve made it twice in 3 weeks! -
Used 12 Granny Smiths. Added two pinches nutmeg to sugar mixture.
-
I doubled the recipe because my iron skillet was quite large. It was a huge hit with my guests. Will definitely repeat this recipe.
-
I am a novice baker and this is the easiest and most delicious pie/cobbler I have ever eaten.
I cut both sugars down and added other spices. I made my own crust as well. I think the butter and brown sugar bottom makes this dish the best ever -
5 stars Best Apple Pie ever and very easy !
-
Made as directed. Very sweet. Taste good though. Will probably cut down on butter and sugars next time.
-
Will definitely make again, but will start the brown sugar/butter on the stovetop to make sure the brown sugar melts completely. Wasn’t a fan of the gritty texture from the unmelted sugar.
-
Recently went to an apple orchard, with plans of making baked apples. I came across this wonderful recipe and decided to make it instead. WOW!!!! So few ingredients.. so little prep.. so easy to make. This is one good pie! I used half the sugar (white and brown), and added a tiny bit of real carmel flavor. Thank you for sharing! I’ll definitely make this again.
-
I never made an apple pie before this recipe ; and, t’s simple enough to make in hurry!!! I found a refrigerated dough that fits my cast iron skillet perfectly and allows for pinching the edges !! Thanks!!!
-
I really enjoyed it we will make it again
-
Really good. Easy clean up too. Wasn?t really a pie tho, kinda was gooey and flakey and didn?t cut well lol. Delicious tho!
-
Easy to make and taste Delicious
-
I made this as written. Very easy to put together. It turned out too sweet for me. Next time, I’ll cut the white sugar in half and add more apple. Will definitely make again with changes. Thanks for the recipe!
-
I made this pie according to the recipe and it turned out to be the best apple pie I’ve ever eaten. I wouldn’t change a thing.
-
Wow. This was truly the best apple pie ever! The bottom crust was crispy because of the butter/sugar step. Thank you so much for this recipe! Perfect in a cast iron skillet.
-
GONNA TRY IT WITH BLUEBERRIES INSTEAD!! THE HUNTERS LOOOOOVED IT!!
-
Very easy to make loved it will make it again
-
made this several times now and it’s the best apple pie ever
-
Phenomenal and so easy. This was the first pie gone at Thanksgiving. My husband doesn’t care for apple and he ate a slice, my MIL asked for the recipe, and I denied my friend taking some home because I wanted to eat it. This one is going in the recipe box!
-
Tasted incredible. With the hot skillet I was not able to keep the dough from falling to the bottom so the top and bottom were not pinched together.
-
Only used 2 crust and cut back on granulated sugar by about 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup. It was great
-
best apple pie ever
-
I made this for my friends & family & followed the recipe as written. We all felt there was WAY too much sugar & butter on the bottom. They bottom became carmelized & the crusts almost all but disappeared. I would probably try again but I would cut butter & sugar in half & use thicker crusts.
-
I liked it .. I added a bag of caramel baking bits and 2 sm boxes of raisins .. it was very very rich!
-
OMG! What a great recipe. My family loved it! Best apple pie I?ve had in a long time. I did do the butter with white sugar on the top crust. It gives it that nice little crunch. This will be my go to pie from now on. Thank you for sharing
-
It was a hit with my husband. It was excellent.
-
This is the worst pie ever! Too sweet – soggy. Inedible and cloying
-
Delicious!!!
-
We enjoyed this very much. I cooked the butter brown sugar mixture a little on the stovetop so the sugar melted thoroughly. And I only had 1 can of apple pie filling on hand so I used that. I reserved about 1\4 cup of the butter sugar mixture and attempted to spread on the top of the pie. I cooked until browning and bubbly. It was so good. Like ridiculously good. I’ll be making this again. It didn’t last 24hrs
-
Hands down the best apple pie recipe ever. I made the pie crust from scratch. I baked the bottom crust for about 15 minutes before adding the apple filling. My crust recipe makes three so I took the third one and cut it into strips and baked them at the same time I was baking the bottom crust. After the bottom crust was baked, I put a layer of apple mixture then the strips of baked crust then more apple mixture then the top crust. I did an egg wash on top and sprinkler a little of the sugar and spice mixture on top. I also tossed the apples with the sugar and spices. I’ve made it three times in three weeks. It’s amazing.

I would cut back a bit on the brown and white sugar. But was good overall. Family loved. So will see when I cut back a bit and see how it turns out.
-
The caramelization from the butter and brown sugar was unbelievable. Best Pie I have ever made.
-
This was really delicious, I used spiced rum because I had some on hand. The only change I made was to decrease the white sugar to 1/2 cup and it was perfect!!
-
best apple pie I’ve ever made, in the recipe you forgot the spiced rum.
-
I’ve made a lot of apple pies using different recipes. This recipe is the best pie recipe. I slightly changed the recipe: five granny smith apples and three gala apples. The apples were sliced, placed in a medium pot with 1 1/2 cups of water. Heated until slightly soft but not mushy. The pie ingredients were mixed in the pot after the mixture cooled.
Drain the liquid off the apples before adding to the crust. -
Delicious! I followed recipe but mixed the sugar and flour with Reviewer Liz Lee?s spice combo of 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cloves, and 1 tsp apple pie spice. I also rolled out the prepackaged pie crusts so that they would properly fit in my skillet and connect.
-
So I read through a bunch of comments, and also adapted this a bit. But the pie is incredible! I don?t even like apple pie. I should have taken a pic before we dug in but it?s a busy house here.
Husband & I went out and picked 10 apples off our tree, used 8 of them and a 10? cast iron skillet. I have no idea what kind of apples they are, but they are definitely not Granny Smiths.
Used a scant 1/2 cup sugar for each portion of filling and will use less next time. Approx 2.5 tsp of cinnamon and 2 tsp of flour. Mixed these three together all at once (just shy of 1 cup sugar, approx 5 tsp cinnamon, and 4 tsp of flour) and then mixed it all up with the apples and set aside while I melted the butter in the pan.
Used 2/3 cup brown sugar and added that to the butter.
I made my own pie crust courtesy of Sally?s Baking Addiction (I substitute lard for the called for shortening) and the pie baked up beautifully!!
We will definitely be making this again.
-
It was OK, it was way too candy-like, like toffee, sticky, too sweet for my tastes,
-
Very good, made for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it. I cut both the brown and white sugar down to 2/3 of a cup and it was delicious.
-
This is a very tasty pie, that was well received. My DIL said it was simply the best.
Having said that, I don’t think I will make it again the same way, as the bottom crust completely dissolves, making it difficult to get a slice of pie.
I also add more spices, i.e., ground cloves and allspice, 1/4 tsp of each. I also reduced the white sugar to 1/2 cup. -
Extremely delicious! Just what I would expect from a nice cinnamon brown sugar spiced apple pie. Mmmm good. Except……
Since it stuck a bit and I am unable to remove it from the pan in slices, it?s more like apple pie stew. Still awesome though.
-
Really good ! Maybe a little less brown sugar next time I make it.
-
This was the easiest recipe to follow. It smelled wonderful in my house! I think my skillet was too big or I used more apples than recipe called for as I couldn?t seal the top & bottom crust… BUT it?s still so yummy and the family loved it.
-
Easy and fabulous! I?m no baker so I surprised myself (and everyone) that it was so wonderful! I cut back on the sugar and it was still too sweet, so next time I?ll reduce it even more. Still a winner, though!
-
It came out okay, but I put too much brown sugar on the bottom layer, so it solidified into the consistency of hard candy.
-
Wonderful and easy. I mixed the sugar cinnamon and flour mix into the sliced apples and they sat, covered on my counter for about 2 hours before I made the pie. What happened was the apples got soft sitting there and there was a lot of liquid at the bottom of the bowl. So I think that may have helped the pie from getting too watery/liquidy. Anyway the pie was great with nice tender apples and a crispy crust. Oh I added a brushing of milk to the crust and sprinkled with sugar and it made it look really nice. I used slightly less sugar than the recipe called for. Needed to bake a little longer then the 45 min. Will make this again. Also no problem removing from the cast iron. I just did it while it was still warm.
-
This pie is to die for! Made exactly from recipe given. So easy and a hit every time. I use a apple peeler which zips the peel off and slices apples. I then cut those slices in half, pile in store bought crust (Pillsbury is the best) pour other ingredients over, seal and brush a little milk and sprinkle sugar on top. Beautiful.
-
All I did was add a dash of allspice with the cinnamon and it came out great. Everyone in the family that had some came back for seconds. Served warm with vanilla bean ice cream and it was a little taste of heaven!
-
Our guests enjoyed it and I quote, ” The pie was amazing if you are willing to share any part of the recipe I’ve never made apple pie but Jonathan said it was best he ever had .” I reduced the brown sugar by half, my skillet was a bit larger so I added one extra apple, extra cinnamon and extra flour. I cooked the brown sugar with cognac on the stove top as well.
-
Fantastic!
-
This is by far my favorite apple pie that I have ever made. I have made it countless times and every time at least one person asks for the recipe. Including my grandmother!! If my granma is asking for it, it has to be good.
-
Turned out really good but (can’t believe I’m saying this…) it was too sweet. Next time I’ll decrease the amount of brown sugar by 1/4 and see if that works. My skillet was too large also but that didn’t affect the pie itself. Still turned out awesome!!
-
Awesome and so easy. I have made the crust dough by hand, and I have bought and used inexpensive Kroger Pie crusts. Use the store bought crusts unless you are a pie crust genius. I cannot tell the difference.
-
Delicious. Haven’t figured out if the bottom crust is really necessary? It seems to just disappear.
-
Needs to Cook longer than 45 minutes I decreased brown sugar to 1/2 cup
