Equipment
- 1 cast iron skillet 10 inches
Ingredients
- 6 apples
- 3/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1/2 cup of old fashioned oats
- 3/4 tbsp. of ground cinnamon
- 3/4 tbsp. of ground nutmeg
- 1/3 cup cold butter or margarine
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker or wood pellet grill to 225 degrees F.
- Peel the apples and cut into thin slices (8-16 slices per apple depending on the size of your apples).
- Coat your cast iron skillet with some butter.
- Pout the apple slices in the pan.
- Mix the brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a mixing bowl. Whisk until combined.
- Add in the cubes of cold butter and use two forks or a pastry cutter to cut in the butter until crumble and mixed into the dry ingredients.
- Pour over the apples in the pan.
- Transfer out to the smoker and place directly on the grill gates. Close the lid and let cook for 2 hours at 225 degrees F.
- After 2 hours check your apples if they are pretty much cooked, raise the temperature of the pellet grill to 300 degrees F.
- Continue to bake for about 30-40 minutes longer until apples are soft and the crisp topping is "crisp" to your liking.
- Carefully remove pan from smoker and serve with vanilla ice cream and a dash of cinnamon if preferred.
Oven Instructions
