Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Apples

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Brown Butter

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns golden brown and develops a nutty aroma. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Crumble Topping

    In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pour the brown butter over the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Crisp

    In a cast iron skillet or baking dish, layer the apple mixture and top it with the crumble topping.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble is golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream on top.
