Cast Iron Skillet Low Sugar Apple Pie

As you know I love cooking in Cast Iron Skillets.  I own a ton of them, including two pots or as some may call them, my cauldrons. Usually, I like to fix filling and hearty meals in my iron skillets, but today I wanted to create another dessert. An apple pie sounds delicious and very easy. I eat healthy as much as I can, it’s actually a huge goal of mine, so I wanted to make my apple pie low sugar. Hence, Low Sugar Apple Pie 🙂

There are so many benefits to cooking the apple pie in a cast iron skillet, and my most favorite is it is nonstick. I love to cook but I hate staying in the kitchen for countless hours scouring over the sink trying to get that last stubborn stuck on food off.  According to Chowhound, this is also their number one reason for cast iron cooking. Also, one cast iron skillet does the job of two pans. You can saute something then place directly in the oven. In the comments, it is also mentioned the heat is more evenly dispersed, therefore, better all around cooking. I completely agree with that statement.

In my recipe, I used the No Added Sugar Apple Pie Filling, but you can easily make your own apple pie filling or if you are great at canning, you can use a canned apple pie filling you have previously made.
