For the Apple Filling

Method

Prepare the Apple Filling

  1. 1

    Slice the Apples

    Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and Mexican vanilla extract to the apple slices. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Make the Crisp Topping

  1. 3

    Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.

  2. 4

    Incorporate Butter

    Melt the unsalted butter and pour it into the dry mixture. Stir until it forms a crumbly topping. Fold in the chopped toasted pecans.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 5

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Layer the Skillet

    In a large oven-safe skillet, spread the apple filling evenly across the bottom. Top with the crisp mixture, spreading it out evenly.

  3. 7

    Bake

    Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Serve

  1. 8

    Add Toppings

    Once the crisp is done baking, remove it from the oven. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, drizzled with Mexican-style caramel sauce, and a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon before serving.
