SKILLET APPLE PIE
05/23/2023With Memorial weekend coming up, how about baking up a classic all-American apple pie for dessert? This recipe is so simple, even the most novice baker can make it successfully. Pinky promise.
By using pre-made pie crusts and apple pie filling, this “homemade” pie comes together in minutes. That means less time in the kitchen, more time enjoying the long weekend and a sweet treat for everyone.
When it’s time to clean the cast iron skillet, be sure to season it after with this DIY cast iron seasoning.

21-ounce can apple pie filling
