Now that we are into fall, we are loving the crisp air, changing leaves, and the foods of fall. My favorite fall memories growing up include trips to the mountains, picking out pumpkins, and going to the apple festival. Mama would always buy baskets and baskets of apples and we knew that we’d be enjoying apple dishes before we knew it!

One of my favorites has always been this apple crumble.

Filled with crisp apples, warm spices, and a buttery oat topping that is out of this world, it makes the perfect fall dessert. Of course, adding a scoop of ice cream never hurts!

How to Make Skillet Apple Crumble

To make it, I begin by melting a little butter in a medium skillet in the oven. Once it has melted, I swirl it in the skillet to make sure the skillet is well coated. Then, I toss together the apple slices, lemon juice, brown sugar and then pour the apples into the skillet.

For the crumble topping, I add my old-fashioned oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and pecans to a medium bowl. Next, I pour in butter that I’ve melted and toss with a fork to form large crumbs. Then, I sprinkle the crumbs on top of the apples in the skillet and bake until they’ve turned golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Let me just say, if you want your kitchen to smell like fall, this is exactly what you should make! Warm and inviting, this apple crumble is the perfect dessert to make for your family or even when company comes!

Here’s my Skillet Apple Crumble Recipe. I hope your family loves it as much as we do!

Ingredients

▢ 2 tablespoons ( 28 g ) salted butter
▢ 3 – 4 ( 509-678 g ) apples , large, Granny Smith, Gala, Fuji, cored and sliced
▢ 1 tablespoon ( 14 g ) lemon juice
▢ 3 tablespoons ( 40 g ) light brown sugar

For the Crumble Topping

▢ 1 cup ( 89 g ) Old Fashioned Oats
▢ 1/2 cup ( 107 g ) firmly packed light brown sugar
▢ 1/3 cup ( 40 g ) all-purpose flour
▢ 1 teaspoon ( 3 g ) ground cinnamon
▢ Pinch ( 0.4 g ) kosher salt
▢ 1 cup ( 114 g ) chopped pecans
▢ 5 tablespoons ( 70 g ) salted butter , melted
▢ Vanilla Ice Cream , for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Melt butter in a medium skillet. Remove from the oven and swirl to coat the bottom and sides of the skillet. Set aside.
Add the apple slices, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar to a medium bowl. Toss to coat. Pour into the skillet.
For the crumble topping, add the oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and pecans, into the bowl. Pour in the melted butter and stir together to moisten the dry ingredients to form large crumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs with your hands on top of the apples and bake on the middle oven rack until the apples are tender and the crumble has turned golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm with ice cream, optional.
