Looking for a quick dessert? Look no further! It has been found! I was wandering around my kitchen the other day and wanted something sweet but didn’t want to put a lot of time into the preparation. I saw my cast iron skillet and then a bowl full of apples. Wah Lah! An idea. How about making a quick apple dessert in my pan!
I put some butter in my pan and popped it into the oven to melt. While that was working I started peeling and cutting my apples.I would recommend cutting your slices thick instead of thin. I found the thinner slices to shrink a lot. Arrange the apples on top of the butter, sprinkle with oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Throw in the oven and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes. You’re looking for your apples to be soft but not mushy. Pull the apples out of the oven, let cool for a few minutes and then serve. Or you can do what I did….eat it right out of the pan 🙂
The apples are soft, sweet and full of cinnamon flavor. The brown sugar creates a delicious syrup and in some places creates an almost caramel like texture. The next night I warmed up the apples in the microwave and put a few scoops of brown sugar ice cream on top…..heaven 🙂 Enjoy!!!

This is not fair. I am trying to be on a diet, but this looks absolutely scrumptious. Well, there are no carbs, so thats kinda good… maybe… 😉
It looks delicious….great idea! The ice cream on top just makes it perfect!
That sounds like the perfect pie filling. And dessert. And oatmeal topping. And lunch. And dinner. 🙂
What a great idea! It’s like apple pie without the crust! You arranged the apples to look so pretty, too:) YUM!!!
Warm apples with cinnamon – oh and ice cream- delightful!
Did I hear “apple” and “cinnamon” in the same breath? Yum! !
Quick and delicious and your preparation so beautiful. I am sure everybody was in the kitchen when you made this!
These look scrumptious. Apples are special when they are warm and when they are cold and…..
Yes, apples are great, especially when the cook makes them even better, as you did.
you say “sprinkle” of cinnamon, i say “blizzard” or “downpour” or “flood”… 🙂
Delicious comfort food – I love it!
