Skillet Apple Crisp

Skillet Apple Crisp

Serves 2

Ingredients

Crumble topping:

• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon earth balance butter (or regular butter) or hardened coconut oil
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

For the apples:

1. 1/2 teaspoon butter (vegan earth balance) or coconut oil
2. 1 apple, thinly sliced
3. 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
4. 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
5. vegan coconut ice cream, for serving (I love this one)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Make your crumble topping by crushing the crumble ingredients together. I placed everything into a plastic bag and used a wooden kitchen mallet to crush. Then I used my hands (from the outside of the bag) to distribute any excess clumps of butter. Don't over mix, stop when it's a coarse crumble. Set aside.
3. Heat oil in a small skillet, add apples, a squeeze of lemon and a drizzle of maple syrup. Stir to coat and continue cooking for a few minutes until the apples just begin to soften.
4. Top the apples with the crumble mixture (as much as you want) and place the skillet in the oven for 8-12 minutes, until the apples are tender and the crumble topping is lightly toasted.
5. Remove from the oven and serve with 2 spoons and a scoop of ice cream.

Notes

This will work in a larger skillet, double or triple the recipe (depending on the size of your skillet), and increase the baking time.
