What is it about cold weather that makes us crave comfort food? I’m thinking we are somewhat like bears and think we need to eat in order to fatten up during winter hibernation!! With fruits being so hard to come by in the winter one of the best winter desserts is a hot apple pie!! Here’s a recipe that is sure to hit the spot, and it is cooked in my favorite a cast iron skillet!! Enjoy!!

2 lbs. Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
2 lbs. Braeburn apples, peeled and chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 stick butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 package of refrigerated pie crusts
1 egg white
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Toss chopped apples in 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Melt butter in skillet then add brown sugar.
Allow brown sugar to heat until dissolved.
Remove the skillet from the heat and place one of the pie crust in the bottom of the pan.
Add apple mixture then top with remaining pie crust.
Whisk the egg white to a foamy consistency and brush across the top of the crust.
Sprinkle the remaining granulated sugar across the entire pie.
Make sure to cut a few slits in the top for steam to escape.
Bake for about an hour or until the crust is a golden brown.
