Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Southern Home all-purpose flour divided
  • 3/4 cup Southern Home old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup Southern Home granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Southern Home fine sea salt divided
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick chilled Southern Home unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2/3 cup packed Southern Home light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Southern Home ground cinnamon
  • 3 Gala or Braeburn apples cored and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 3 Granny Smith apples cored and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 2 Golden Delicious apples cored and cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • Prestige vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)

Method
 

  2. Get out your cast iron skillet for this one. I had never used mine before, so I was really excited to have an excuse to use it.
  3. Position a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  4. In a chilled medium bowl, mix 3/4 cup of the flour, oats, granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to blend. Using your fingers, rub the butter into the flour mixture until moist clumps form. Freeze the topping for about 10 minutes, or until firm.
  5. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons of the flour, cinnamon, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt together.
  6. Add the apple wedges and toss to coat.
  7. Transfer the apple filling to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, mounding it above the skillet rim. If you don’t have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a 10-inch-diameter saute? pan or deep-dish pie dish.
  8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling. The filling and crumble topping will be domed in the skillet, but will cook down throughout baking.
  9. Place the skillet on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil to catch any juices that will bubble over.
  10. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the crumble cool for about 10 minutes.
  11. Spoon the crumble into bowls and serve warm with the ice cream, if desired.
