Grandma's Iron Skillet Apple Pie

We all know that apple pie is very famous during Fall, but my family doesn’t follow that tradition. It is a family favorite, we normally make this twice a week, and so basically, we eat it most of the time. I can’t blame them because it’s delicious. It has a rustic pie that a flaky crust, and a warm cinnamon-apple filling. I like serving this pie with my favorite vanilla ice cream and a cup of coffee, but you can eat it as it is. We do have such several different pies, but no matter what, an apple pie must always be present. Try this recipe for Grandma’s Iron Skillet Apple Pie, and enjoy it with your loved ones.
