Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 6
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:

  • 6 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • Optional: Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a large oven-safe skillet with a bit of butter to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the apple slices with lemon juice, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
  3. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared skillet.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples in the skillet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
  7. Allow the apple crisp to cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
Helpful Tips:

  • For a more rustic flavor, try using a mix of apple varieties, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
  • If you don’t have a skillet, a baking dish will work just as well.

Storage Instructions:

  • Store any leftover apple crisp covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven until heated through.

Ingredient Substitutions:

  • If you need to make this recipe gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Pairings:

  • This Skillet Apple Crisp pairs wonderfully with a hot cup of chai tea or a latte.
  • Consider serving it alongside a savory main dish like roasted chicken or butternut squash soup for a balanced meal.
