Equipment
- 1 9" cast iron skillet
Ingredients
Granola Topping:
- 1 ½ cups Granola of Choice
- ½ cup Granulated Sugar
- ½ cup Oat Flour
- ¼-1/2 cup Chopped Nuts optional
- ⅓ cup Butter melted
Apple Filling:
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 4 Large Tart Apples I like to use Granny Smith
- ½ cup Maple Syrup or packed Brown Sugar
- ¼- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- Pinch Salt
- ¼ cup Dried Cranberries or Raisins optional
Instructions
Granola Topping
- Get a medium fire going - you can cook this over a campfire, hot coals, or on a grill.
- In a medium bowl, combine granola, sugar, oat flour, and nuts, if you’re using them. Add melted butter, stir until well incorporated - everything should be wet, but crumbly.
- Add the topping to a 9" cast iron skillet, toast over the hot coals until golden brown. Transfer to a bowl, set aside.
Apple Filling:
- Melt the butter in the 9" skillet. Add the apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly coat the apples with the other ingredients.
- Cook the apples over the hot coals, until they’re almost - but not quite - as soft as you want them to be. Add dried fruit, if you’re using it.
- Sprinkle the granola mixture evenly over the top of the apple filling. Cover skillet with a tightly fitting lid - or some aluminum foil - and return to the heat for 3 more minutes.
- Serve hot, with a scoop of ice cream or mound of whipped cream, if desired
Notes
Once cooled to room temperature, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or so.
For best results, don't cover it til after it's cooled to room temperature!
