Ingredients
  

Spiced Caramel Apple Filling
  • 6 large apples (mix of Honeycrisp & Granny Smith, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick)
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (to thicken juices)
  • 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg and ground allspice
Crispy Brown Butter Oat Streusel
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup raw pecans (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (browned and cooled slightly, 8 tbsp)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon and fine sea salt

Method
 

Brown Butter & Toss Apples
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling until nutty and golden-brown with toasted specks (4-5 minutes). Remove from heat to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice until evenly glazed. Transfer to a 10-inch cast iron skillet or baking dish.
Mix Streusel & Scatter
  1. In a separate bowl, stir oats, flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in cooled browned butter and toss with a fork to form large, clumpy streusel crumbles.
  2. Scatter streusel generously and evenly over the spiced apples, covering the fruit completely to the skillet edges.
Bake & Serve Warm
  1. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the oat topping is deeply golden-brown and fragrant, and caramel apple juices bubble vigorously around the edges.
  2. Let rest for 10 minutes to allow juices to slightly thicken. Serve warm in bowls topped with generous scoops of vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of caramel.
