Method
Prep the oven and apples
Heat the oven to 350°F. Toss the apples with the lemon juice, ¼ cup brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Fill the skillet
Spread the apples in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet.
Make the topping
Mix the oats, flour, ½ cup brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Rub in the cold butter with your fingers until clumpy.
Top and bake
Scatter the topping over the apples. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until the filling bubbles at the edges and the top is deep golden.
Rest and serve
Cool for 15 minutes so the juices thicken, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Kitchen notes
- Mixing apple varieties gives you both tart and sweet.
- Set a sheet pan on the rack below to catch any drips.
- Leftovers reheat nicely at 325°F for 10 minutes.
