You didn’t think I would host a dinner and not have dessert would you? I made this Apple Crisp with the One Pan Italian Sausage Tortellini for the dinner I made for my In-Laws.
This is such a great and super easy recipe to finish out a dinner party. It doesn’t take much time or effort to have this come out delicious. I couldn’t pass up this great fall dessert to try out on my family.
Apologies for the lack of “in process pictures”…I realize now that I need 4 arms to cook dinner, dessert and take pictures of cooking and need to recruit my hubby to take the pictures. Lesson learned-stick with me!
You need to preheat the oven to 350 degrees
For the Crumb Topping: In a medium bowl- mix the flower, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Using a fork or a pastry cutter combine the butter into the dry mixture until evenly mixed. Set aside.
For the Apple Filling: In an 8 inch cast iron skillet heat the butter over medium heat. Add the apple slices and a pinch of salt and cook for 3 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add the brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla and lemon juice.
Cover the apple filling in the skillet evenly with the crumb topping. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake until crisp and brown on top for an additional 20-30 minutes.
Service with vanilla ice cream and enjoy! It’s husband approved 🙂
