Servings: 6
Equipment
- 10 inch cast iron skillet
Ingredients
Apple Filling
- 5 large apples, sliced into ¼ inch thin slices
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon cardamom
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
Crisp Topping
- ¼ cup flour
- 5 tablespoons butter, cold
- ¾ cup oats
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Slice apples into ¼ inch thin slices, trying to make sure they are uniform in size. (You can peel the apples or leave the peel on depending on your preference.
- Heat the cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter to melt. Add apples to the skillet and toss to coat in the butter and sprinkle with the white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and allspice. Remove from heat and use a spoon to stir to coat with sugar and spices.
- In a large bowl add the flour and the 5 tablespoons of butter. Use a pastry cutter or knives to cut the butter into the flour. Add the oats, sugar and cinnamon. Continue to cut the mixture until it resembles pea-sized lumps.
- Sprinkle over the top of the apples and place the cast iron skillet in the preheated oven to bake.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes. Check with a fork, the apples should be fork tender but not mushy. Check often because the cook time will vary depending on the variety of apple you use and exactly how thin they are sliced. If the apples need more time you can cover the top with foil so the top of the crisp does not over brown.
- Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes before serving. Seve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
