Ingredients

• 4 medium Honeycrisp apples
• 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tbsp cornstarch
• 5 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• for serving vanilla ice cream

Instructions

1. 1Peel, core, and slice the Honeycrisp apples into thin half-moons one-quarter inch thick and toss them in a bowl with the lemon juice so they stay bright.
2. 2In a separate small bowl stir together most of the granulated sugar, half the brown sugar, the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch until evenly mixed.
3. 3Melt half the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium heat until foaming subsides.
4. 4Add the apple slices and the sugar-spice mixture; cook, stirring gently every couple of minutes, until the apples soften and release juices and the mixture turns glossy and slightly thickened, about 8 to 10 minutes.
5. 5While the fruit cooks, stir the oats, flour, remaining brown sugar, pecans, and salt in a bowl; pour in the melted remaining butter and vanilla and mix with a fork until clumpy streusel forms.
6. 6Scatter the oat streusel evenly over the simmering apples in the skillet; do not stir.
7. 7Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet loosely with a lid or foil, and cook 6 to 8 minutes until the topping is set and lightly golden at the edges and the apples are fork-tender and bubbling at the sides.
8. 8Uncover and cook 1 to 2 minutes more so any excess steam escapes and the topping crisps slightly.
9. 9Remove from heat and let the crisp rest 5 minutes so the juices thicken.
10. 10Scoop warm portions into bowls and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream so it melts into the cinnamon apples.
