Notes

I used a 10-inch cast iron skillet. A 9 inch and 12 inch also works.

Sub 2 21-oz cans of apple pie filling for the fresh apples.

If crust starts to get too brown, place a sheet of aluminum foil lightly on top of the pie.

There is a lot of liquid bubbling up as the pie bakes. It will thicken up into a thick sauce as the pie cools down.
