Instructions
Preheat Traeger Grills or Pitt Boss or whatever pellet grill you’re using to 350 degrees F. Set out pie crust to bring it to room temperature (or whatever your pie crust label tells you to do!).
Add main smoked apple pie ingredients to a large bowl combine: Granny Smith apples, light brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and allspice or nutmeg. Stir to coat apples with spices. Set aside.
Melt butter in a large pot or skillet (that will be able to hold all the apples) on the stove on medium-high heat. Once it melts, add apples.
Cook apples on the stove, stirring regularly until apples begin to brown and become soft. This will take about 10 minutes. Set aside.
(optional) Prepare a pie dish for smoking apple pie. If you purchased store bought pie crust, this might not be needed because it often comes in tin containers which can be smoked. Otherwise, add pie crust to a pie pan or cast iron as a third option.
Pour cooked apples into the bottom pie crust mold, without getting the extra liquid in the pie. This next part is optional, but what I like to do is put the liquid from the apples back on the stove and reduce it down, over high heat, until it’s thick enough to pour on the apples. Don’t put very thin liquid in the pie crust or it will make the pie crust mushy. When you cook this down, it will take 5-10 minutes and you know it's done when the consistency is like a liquid caramel. YUM!!
Top smoker apple pie with the other pie crust. Use your fingers to push the edges of the pie crust together to seal the pie. Brush the crust all over with a light coating of egg yolk. Poke holes in the top of the pie crust to help steam escape as it cooks. Sprinkle the top with sugar and head out to the Traeger.
Smoke apple pie in the pellet grill for 60-90 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Remove smoked apple pie from the Traeger when it has a golden brown crust.
Let rest 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.
