Skillet Caramel Apple Crisp

caramel apple crips in a cast iron skillet topped with vanilla ice cream
  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  20 min
  • Cook Time:  45 min

Ingredients

  • 5 cups apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 ⅓ cups brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ⅔ cup melted buter
  • 1 cup flour

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 375° with a rack in the center position.

  2. Add the apples to a medium sized mixing bowl. Sprinkle with ⅓ cup of the brown sugar and ½ teaspoon of the cinnamon, toss to coat.

  3. Thinly slice 3 tablespoons of the butter and place it in the bottom of a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Arrange the apples over the butter in the skillet.

  4. Heat the remaining ⅔ cup butter (until very soft, but not quite melted) in the microwave or small saucepan over medium-low heat. Pour the butter into the same mixing bowl. Add the remaining 1 cup brown sugar, remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and flour. Using your hands, mix the ingredients together until fully combined and a loose dough forms. Crumble evenly over the top of the apples.

  5. Bake until the top is golden brown, the apples are tender and the caramel sauce is bubbling, about 40-45 minutes.

  6. Cool for 15 minutes. Serve topped with vanilla ice cream, if using.
