3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar 

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter 

Apple Filling:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced 

Pinch of kosher salt 

2 tablespoons brown sugar 

2 tablespoons cornstarch 

1 tablespoon vanilla 

Juice of 1/2 lemon 

Vanilla ice cream, for serving 

Directions

Special equipment:
an 8-inch cast-iron skillet
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. For the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt using a fork or pastry cutter. Cut the butter into small pieces and gradually add it to the flour mixture until evenly mixed. Set aside.
  3. 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 in the brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla and lemon juice.

  5. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
