How to Make Individual Apple Crisp Skillet
Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In an individual skillet (6.5″ or 8″), placed over medium-low heat, add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the apples and cook until soft.
Step 3: Meanwhile, to make the topping, in a small mixing bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients, whisk together, then pour in the melted butter and toss to coat. Set aside.
Step 4: Sprinkle the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt over the top of the cooked apples. Add the flour and stir to coat the apples evenly. Gently pat the apples down, creating an even layer. Pour the topping on and spread evenly.
Step 5: Place in the oven and bake until the topping is golden brown. This can take anywhere from 10-15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
