No pie plate? No problem! Start cooking apples in heavenly syrup on the stove and finish baking in the oven.
Yield:8 Servings
Ingredients
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup + 2 teaspoons sugar, divided
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon or apple pie spice
6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and cut each into 8 wedges (about 2 1/2 lbs)
1 unbaked refrigerated pie crust
2 teaspoons cream
Directions
Melt butter in an oven-safe Anolon Advanced Home Skillet; remove from heat. Stir in sugar and cinnamon.
Arrange apple wedges evenly in skillet, overlapping as needed. Heat oven to 350°F.
Place skillet over medium heat and cook until sugar mixture is light amber in color and bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes.
Carefully place dough round on top of apples; cut a few slits in pastry to allow air to escape. Brush pastry with cream and the 2 teaspoons sugar. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Serve warm or at room temperature.
