Ingredients
Scale
Apple filling
- 6 medium firm baking apples, about 2 1/2 pounds total
- 1/3 cup turbinado sugar or packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Oat topping
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup turbinado sugar or packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and place it on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Core the apples and slice them into roughly 1/4-inch wedges, leaving the skins on if desired.
- Toss the apples with the filling sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter until evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, stir the oats, flour, topping sugar, cinnamon, and salt together. Mix in the melted butter until moist clumps form.
- Spread the apples in the skillet and scatter the topping loosely over them.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden, the filling bubbles around the edge, and the apples are tender when pierced.
- Rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Firm baking apples hold their shape better than soft varieties.
- Put the skillet on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any bubbling juices.
- Cover the top loosely with foil if it browns before the apples are tender.
- Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and use them within four days.
