HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

02

Prepare the apple filling: Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice until evenly coated.

03

Prepare the crumble topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, the remaining 1/2 cup of brown sugar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Cut in the 1/2 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until coarse crumbs form.

04

Assemble the crumble: Pour the apple mixture into a 10-inch oven-safe skillet. Evenly sprinkle the prepared crumble topping over the apples.

05

Bake the crumble: Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the topping is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.

06

Serve: Let the skillet apple crumble cool for a few minutes before serving warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

COOKING TIP

Make it better

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground ginger or cardamom to the apple filling. Ensure your butter is very cold when making the crumble topping; this helps create a light and crisp texture. If the topping starts to brown too quickly during baking, you can loosely tent the skillet with aluminum foil.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Easy swaps

Any firm, tart baking apple like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji will work well in this recipe. For a gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free rolled oats and a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Dairy-free butter alternatives can be used to make this a dairy-free dessert.

STORAGE

Keep it fresh

Store any leftover skillet apple crumble, covered tightly with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, warm individual servings in the microwave or place the entire skillet back in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through and the topping is crisp again.
