Stuffed Crust Skillet Apple Pie

If you're looking for a fun apple pie recipe to try this harvest season look no further. This easy Stuffed Crust Skillet Apple Pie has a hidden layer of English toffee bits and toasted pecans sandwiched between two pie crusts. Hiding goodies in the crust is a simple technique that adds an element of surprise and takes this cinnamon-sugar topped apple pie over the top. Serve a slice just as is or with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of fresh whipped cream.

Stuffed Crust Skillet Apple Pie

While apple pie is made and served year-round it marches boldly to the forefront of dessert offerings during fall harvest time.  It's the forerunner to pumpkin and rightly so, if you ask me, let's enjoy each season and not rush things, don't you think?  It truly is as All-American as baseball and is the dessert equivalent of comfort food.

Beyond Classic Apple Pie

I really love incorporating the same apple pie flavors in other dishes in unexpected ways such as the MSSK readers favorite skillet apple pie biscuits and apple pie cinnamon rolls.  In the summer at picnics and in the fall for tailgating, you'll find my portable caramel apple hand pies  being served.  During the holidays when I'm feeding a crowd, it's my apple slab pie that's a winner every single time.

Tips and Pointers for Making Stuffed Crust Skillet Apple Pie

I begin this stuffed crust recipe using refrigerated pie crusts to keep the prep simple but, you could certainly use a homemade pie crust, if you prefer. In that case, I recommend that you roll the homemade crusts thin since this recipe doubles the crust layer and thin will allow the hidden layer to shine. When folding over the edges, it's not necessary to fuss too much with making the edges perfect, as this is a rustic pie and meant to reflect the handcrafted love in every bite. Don't miss the opportunity to top this apple extravaganza with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the crowning touch. Don't stop there you may also like to try these Caramel Apple Nachos from Family Fresh Meals and Apple Fritter Bread from Life In The Lofthouse.
