Cast Iron Skillet Apple Crisp
Warm cinnamon-spiced apples are topped with a buttery oat crumble and baked directly in a cast iron skillet for a rustic and comforting dessert. The even heat distribution of cast iron ensures the topping becomes perfectly golden and crunchy while the apples turn tender and jammy.

Instructions
Preheat and Prepare Apples
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the sliced apples with half the brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, then spread them evenly in a 10-inch cast iron skillet.
Make the Crisp Topping
In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, remaining brown sugar, and remaining cinnamon. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingertips to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbles with some pea-sized chunks remaining.
Assemble and Bake
Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apple layer in the skillet, covering the apples completely. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the topping is deep golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling around the edges.
Cool and Serve
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the apple crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm directly from the skillet with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
