Skillet Apple Crisp with Oatmeal Crumble

Course Dessert

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashion rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2   tsp nutmeg
  • 1 cup cold, salted butter
  • 2/3 cup sugar (if you like more tart reduce sugar to 1/2 cup - I prefer it like this)
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 7 cups peel and diced granny smith apples
  • 1/2 tsp pure almond extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  2. Make crumble topping: 

    Combine oats, flour, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, & nutmeg, in a medium bowl.

  3. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until well combined and large crumbs form. Chill in the freezer until ready to use.

  4. Make apple filling: 

    Whisk together sugar, corn starch, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl. Add sliced apples and almond extract. Toss gently to combine.

  5. Spoon apple filling into skillet and sprinkle evenly with crumble topping.

  6. Bake crisp: 

    Place baking dish on preheated baking sheet and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, until golden brown and filling is bubbling. Mine only took 50 minutes.

  7. Cool crisp on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

  8. Refrigerate leftover crisp tightly covered (or in an airtight container) up to 2 days. 

Recipe Notes

You can make with other apples but I prefer the tartness of granny smith.

I also reduce the granulated sugar in the filling to 1/2 cup because I like it a tad more tart.
