Skillet Apple Crisp

This dish is great for when you are entertaining.

If your skillet is not oven safe, prepare the recipe the same until you get to the part when you add the topping to the filling. At this point, transfer the filling to a 13x 9 inch baking dish. Top the filling as directed and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Ingredients
Topping
  • 3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup pecans, chopped finely
  • 3/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 8 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
Filling
  • 7 medium sized honey crisp apples (peeled, cored, halved, and cut into 1/2 inch-thick pieces)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 tsp. lemon or lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
Instructions

  1. Adjust your oven rack to middle position and preheat the oven to 450 degrees.

Topping Instructions

  1. Begin making your topping by combining the flour, pecans, oats, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and salt in medium size bowl.

  2. Stir in the butter and mix until the topping is thoroughly moistened and crumbly. Set aside and start to prepare your fruit filling.

Filling Instructions

  1. Peel and core your apples. Then half them and cut them into 1/2 inch-thick pieces.

  2. Combine the apples, white sugar, and cinnamon together in large bowl and set aside.

  3. Pour the cider into a 12-inch, oven safe, skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  4. Cook until reduced to ½ cup, about 5 minutes.

  5. Transfer reduced cider to a small bowl and stir in the lemon (or lime) juice. Set aside.

  6. Heat the butter in previously used skillet over medium heat.

  7. When foaming subsides, add apple mixture and cook until apples begin to soften and become translucent, stirring frequently, for about 12 to 14 minutes. (Do not fully cook apples.)

  8. Remove the pan from the heat and gently stir in the cider mixture until the apples are coated.

  9. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the top, breaking up any large chunks.

  10. Place the skillet on a baking sheet and bake until apples are tender and the topping is a deep golden brown, for about 15 to 20 minutes at 450 degrees.

  11. Cool on wire rack until warm, for at least 15 minutes, and serve.
