  Ingredients

 2 pounds Braeburn apples 

 2 pounds Granny Smith apples 

 3/4 cup granulated sugar 

 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

 1/2 cup butter 

 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 

 1 (14.1-oz.) package refrigerated piecrusts 

 1 egg white 

                                                2 tablespoons granulated sugar                                                      

 Directions

  

 1. Preheat oven to 350º. Peel apples, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick 

wedges. Toss apples with cinnamon and 3/4 cup granulated sugar.

 2. Melt butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat; 

add brown sugar, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 3 minutes 

or until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, and place 1 piecrust 

in skillet over brown sugar mixture. Spoon apple mixture over 

piecrust, and top with remaining piecrust. Whisk egg white until 

foamy. Brush top of piecrust with egg white; sprinkle with 2 Tbsp. 

granulated sugar. Cut slits in top for steam to escape.

 3. Bake at 350º for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until 

golden brown and bubbly, cover with foil during last 10-15 minutes

 to prevent excessive browning of the top, if necessary. 

Cool on a wire rack 30-45 minutes before serving.
