Easy Skillet Apple Pie

This was fun to make and looks great in the cast iron skillet.  I usually make my own crust but to keep it "easy" I purchased them.  Made this whole process quick and simple. 

2 lbs. Granny Smith apples
2 lbs. Fuji or Gala apples (may substitute your favorite baking apple)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 (14.1 oz.) package refrigerated piecrusts
1 egg white
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Vanilla or butter pecan ice cream

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  

Peel apples and cut into thin slices.  (I used my food processor slicer blade for the slices).  Toss apples with cinnamon and 3/4 cup granulated sugar.

Melt butter in 10 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat; add brown sugar and cook stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved.  Remove from heat and place 1 piecrust in skillet over brown sugar mixture.  Spoon apple mixture over piecrust and top with remaining crust.  

Whisk egg white until foamy.  Brush top of piecrust with egg white and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.  Cut 5 slits in top of piecrust for steam to escape.

Bake at 350 for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.  If necessary, place aluminum foil around edges during last 10 minutes to prevent excessive browning.  Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before serving.

Serve a la mode.
