Low-Sugar Iron Skillet Apple Pie Recipe

June 21, 2016 by Mommy Evolution 11 Comments

Nothing says summer like a classic apple pie! But I’m offering a healthier and low-sugar option with this skillet apple pie recipe so you can enjoy this favorite without the extra calories.

And really, there’s something about cooking with a cast iron skillet.

It feels like homesteading, doesn’t it? So why not “bake” in it as well!

You’re going to love the flavors that come out with a pie made right in your iron skillet. This post contains affiliate links.

Step 5: Cover crust with No Added Sugar apple pie filling and top with second crust, pinching the edges together (be careful because the skillet may still be hot from melting the butter!)
