I love baking all year round, but I especially love baking in the Fall & Winter months. The cozy, nature-inspired Fall decor is up. The weather outside is getting cooler, and the nights shorter. Our home is filled with smells of cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and clove. Every day brings a new delicious treat for us to try.

I try to keep September for apples, October for pumpkins, and November for pecans but I’m not strict about it. This year, I began the Apple theme with this Autumn Apple Crisp. It was sooo good, the family already asked me to remake it. I’ll have to use both skillets next time because one was definitely not enough for us! This one is for sure going in our family cookbook!

Ingredients | Crumble

• 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
• 1/2 cup packed Light Brown Sugar
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon Clove
• 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1 stick butter, cut into small cubes

Ingredients | Apple Crisp

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 8 Granny Smith Apples, sliced thinly
• 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt
• 2 tablespoons packed Light Brown Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
• Juice of 1 small lemon

Directions

1. Peel apples, set aside.
2. Make crumble topping: in a medium-to-large mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients except butter. Once whisked, add the butter cubes and use your hands to blend together until it reaches a Crumbly, sandy texture, then set aside.
3. Melt the butter in a cast iron skillet on medium-low heat on the stove. Once melted, add the apples and salt. Mix together until apples are fully coated in butter.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix together until fully coated again, continue cooking for 5 minutes.
5. Turn off the heat, but do not remove your skillet. Sprinkle crumble topping evenly on top of warm apples.
6. Cover with foil and cook for 20 minutes at 350°.
7. Remove foil, cook for an additional 20 minutes.
8. Serve warm with Vanilla Ice Cream {and maybe a Caramel Glaze?} & enjoy 😋!!!
