3-Ingredient Skillet Apple Crisp

• servings: 6 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

1 1/3 cups flavored instant oatmeal (from about 4 packets), such as Maple & Brown Sugar or Cinnamon & Spice

1/2 cup (1 stick) cold salted butter, cut into 1 tablespoon-sized pieces, divided

2 pounds apples (4 large or 5 medium), peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Arrange a rack in the center of the oven.

Make the topping: Add the instant oatmeal to a medium bowl. Add 6 tablespoons of the butter and press and squeeze it into the oats with your fingertips until moist crumbs form. Transfer to the refrigerator.

Sauté the apples: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch skillet (preferably oven-safe, like cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized in spots and beginning to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. (Reduce the heat to medium if the apples are browning too quickly.) Remove from the heat.

Add the topping: If you’re not using an oven-safe skillet, transfer the apples to a 2-quart baking dish. Scatter the topping over the apples. It likely won’t cover them entirely.

Bake the crisp: Bake until the juices around the edges of the skillet are bubbling, the apples are tender, and the topping is golden-brown and crisp, 18 to 24 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
