Skillet Apple Pie with Cinnamon Whipped Cream
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 refrigerated rolled pie crusts, such as Pillsbury
- One 21-ounce can apple pie filling
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
- 2 cups whipping cream, chilled
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- For the skillet apple pie: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a 9-inch cast-iron skillet; set aside 1 tablespoon of the melted butter for the top crust.
- To the melted butter, add the brown sugar and melt them together on medium heat, about 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and line the skillet with one of the pie crusts.
- Pour the apple pie filling over the crust and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar.
- Use the second pie crust to cover the filling.
- Brush the top with the reserved melted butter, then evenly sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar on top.
- Cut vents in the middle of the pie.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Serve hot, topped with a generous dollop of cinnamon whipped cream.
- For the cinnamon whipped cream: Chill a large metal mixing bowl and a wire beater attachment in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
- Pour the cream, cinnamon and sugar into the cold mixing bowl and beat until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes; the mixture should hold its shape when dropped from a spoon.
- Don't overbeat or you'll have sweetened butter!
