Add a twist on classic pie – make it in a skillet and a bit of frozen fun

While apple pie is a traditional seasonal dish, you can add unique flavor with this skillet version. Simply toss Honeycrisp apples with brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice, then spoon them between two pie crusts simmering in a thin layer of brown sugar and cinnamon. Finish off the dish by drizzling it with caramel sauce for a deliciously gooey evening treat.
