Skillet Apple Crisp

Sweet juicy apples and crispy oatmeal make this a dessert everyone will remember, whether you are at home or out camping. Serve alone or with ice cream. A regular skillet can be used if you do not have an iron skillet.
You will need: *5 medium sized apples, sliced *1 cup of uncooked oatmeal *1/2 cup brown sugar *1 tbsp cinnamon *1/4 cup of butter (8 tbsp).

Heat skillet on medium heat. Melt butter in skillet. Add brown sugar and cinnamon, stir until mixed. Slowly add the apples, coating the slices in the mixture. Next add the oatmeal, folding it into the mixture while stirring. There should be very little liquid left. Cook until apples soften and oatmeal becomes crispy. Add water a tablespoon at a time if needed during cooking.

Apples, The Fall Fruit

Apples are a great seasonal fruit for fall. Colorful, crunchy, sweet, tangy, and healthy, they are perfect as edible centerpieces for the holidays. Apples keep well at room temperature and are excellent chilled. They can be used in many holiday dishes to add extra color and seasoning. Stuffing, appetizers, entrees and pies can all benefit from sweet or tangy apple varieties.

Try them cut up in stuffing, with cream cheese and crackers, or roasted with main dishes such as turkey, duck, or chicken. They are also a great accent for stews.
