Ingredients
- Apple filling:
- 3 pounds tart apple (such as Granny Smith), peeled and sliced
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Topping:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup pecans, chopped
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Mix all the topping ingredients together in a bowl. Set aside.
In a medium-sized sauce pan, cook the apples, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup water together. Stir the apples until they begin to soften and turn more transparent (about 5 minutes).
Drain the apples and reserve a 1/2 cup of the remaining apple liquid.
In a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, flour, 1/2 cup reserved apple liquid, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla together. Stir in the apples and continue to cook about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the apples are well coated and begin to soften more.
Top the apple mixture with the reserved crumble topping.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
