Skillet Apple Crisp with Oatmeal Crumble
This Skillet Apple Crisp with Oatmeal Crumble combines tender apples with a buttery, sweet oatmeal crumble topping, all baked to perfection in a skillet, making it a comforting and rustic dessert.
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Oatmeal Crumble:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Spread the apple mixture evenly in a 10-inch skillet.
- In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. If you’re using nuts, stir them into the crumble mixture.
- Evenly sprinkle the oatmeal crumble over the apples in the skillet.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble topping is golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the crisp to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a tart contrast, use Granny Smith apples.
- Make sure to store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or a dairy-free butter alternative.
- Use gluten-free flour and certified gluten-free oats to make it gluten-free.
- Freeze the cooled crisp for up to 3 months, and bake from frozen at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes.
