A hot skillet full of apples,

let me have it!

I just love desserts like this that can be made impromptu and served hot

with ice cream of course!

Oh… and caramel, what is it about apples and caramel, they are the perfect married couple.

Now mix this all-together on your for, the hot apples, oatmeal, caramel, and ice cream and well…

there are simply no words!

This is my go-to dessert that can be made in minutes and tastes amazing, I always have apples on hand, and oatmeal in the pantry, so this recipe comes together quickly and easily.

diced apples

I used a combination of gala apples and granny smith apples. Of course, you can use your favorite variety of apples, this combination was nice as the granny smith apples stay firmer while the gala apples get a bit softer and are less tart.

I was lucky to receive fresh apples right off a friends’ tree…. oh how I just love surprises like that.

Food makes the best gift in my book! Don’t you agree?

mixture for apple crisp

Just mix the flour, oats, sugar and cinnamon and crumble in the butter.

I often slice apples into slivers when making pies and such, but the chunks of apples in this were just perfect and easy.

I didn’t want small pieces of apples I wanted the finished dish to have a BIG BOLD APPLE taste and it did!

I drizzled caramel syrup on top before baking and again when it came out of the oven to serve with ice cream. I used Ghirardelli Caramel Syrup, oh the flavor is so good. If you want to make your own here is the recipe for Caramel Sauce. 

You can make this any weeknight and surprise everyone when the dishes are done, imagine this beauty coming out of the oven!

    Now this is a beautiful, mouthwatering, gorgeous dessert but I think it would be great for breakfast too! Just skip the ice cream and nobody needs to know 🙂 Love apple desserts and this really does sound great. Thanks Diane!

    I consider that whole skillet to be one serving, and I agree with Tricia, it has breakfast written all over it!
