Dessert · American
Sliced apples bubble under an oat-and-butter topping in one skillet, so you get dessert without lining a separate baking dish.
Amounts scale with servings. Pan size and cooking time may need adjusting for larger batches.
Heat the oven to 375°F. Toss apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
Stir oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and the remaining cinnamon. Cut in the butter with your fingers until clumps form.
Scatter the topping over the apples. Bake for 32–35 minutes, until the fruit is bubbling and the topping is browned.
Rest for 10 minutes so the juices thicken, then serve warm.
A mix of tart and sweet apples holds shape and still tastes bright.
If the topping browns before the apples soften, tent the skillet loosely with foil.
Pears can replace half the apples; they cook in the same time.
Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats if you need to.
Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Pink Lady keep some bite. Softer apples cook down into more of a sauce.
Assemble and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Bake from cold and add a few minutes until the center bubbles.
