Materials

  • 6 apples peeled and sliced
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg
  • pinch salt
  • Topping
  • 1 1/4 cups old fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Set oven temperature to 350 degrees.
  • Peel, wash, and slice the apples to prepare them.
  • Cast iron is heated on medium-low heat. Combine sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Stir in butter after adding. When the apples are tender, add them, coat them with butter, and simmer for five minutes.
  • Combine the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium-sized bowl, stirring to combine. Using a pastry cutter or food processor, cut in the cubed, cooled butter.
  • Sprinkle over the cast-iron apples.
  • Bake in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, using the center rack.
  • Accompany with caramel sauce or ice cream!

Notes

Prepare the recipe ahead of time! In a small container, combine nutmeg, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Apples should be prepared and added to a big dish. Add 1/4 lemon juice, then cover the apples with water and seal the basin. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt; cover. Before using, drain the apples. When you're getting ready for supper, cook the apples and then pop everything into the oven to bake when you're ready!
It could take a little longer to cook the apples in the cast iron if you decide not to peel them. Just make sure the apples are cooked through.
