Description
This 10-Minute Apple Crisp Skillet is a healthy, cozy stovetop dessert with tender cinnamon apples and a golden oat crumble topping. No oven needed, naturally sweetened, and made in one pan.
Ingredients
Apples: 3 medium, thinly sliced (about 450 g)
Maple syrup: 3 tbsp (45 ml), divided
Ground cinnamon: 1 tsp (2.5 g)
Vanilla extract: 1/2 tsp (2.5 ml)
Fine salt: 1/8 tsp (0.5 g)
Rolled oats: 1/2 cup (45 g)
Almond flour or oat flour: 1/4 cup (25 g)
Coconut oil, melted (or unsalted plant butter): 2 tbsp (28 g)
Optional crunch: chopped walnuts or pecans 2 tbsp (14 g)
Optional finish: plain Greek yogurt for serving 1/2 cup (120 g)
Instructions
1. Heat a 10 to 12 inch skillet over medium heat. Add sliced apples, 2 tbsp (30 ml) maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
2. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender and glossy with bubbling juices.
3. Meanwhile, stir oats, flour, melted coconut oil, and remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup in a small bowl until crumbly. Add nuts if using.
4. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the apples. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the skillet.
5. Cook covered for 2 minutes to steam the topping and fully soften the oats.
6. Uncover and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until the topping looks lightly golden and apples bubble around the edges. (If needed, raise heat briefly to medium for extra crisp.)
7. Remove from heat and rest 1 minute. Serve warm, optionally with Greek yogurt.
Notes
Best apples: Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, or Pink Lady for quick cooking and great texture.
Nut-free option: Use oat flour instead of almond flour and skip the nuts.
Gluten-free option: Use certified gluten-free oats.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over low heat or microwave in 20 second bursts.
Serving tip: For the crispiest topping, serve right away.
