Method
 

Step-by-Step Baking Walkthrough
  1. Oven & Pan Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or a 9-inch square ceramic baking dish.
  2. Toss Spiced Apples: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, pure maple syrup, fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and alcohol-free vanilla bean paste. Toss until every apple slice is evenly lacquered with spiced syrup. Spread evenly into the prepared skillet.
  3. Mix Oat Streusel: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and fine sea salt.
  4. Cut in Butter: Add the chilled butter cubes to the oat mixture. Use a pastry blender or clean fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until pea-sized clumpy streusel clusters form.
  5. Scatter & Bake: Scatter the crumble topping generously over the apples, covering them completely edge to edge. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 38 to 42 minutes, until the oat topping is deep golden-brown and the spiced amber apple juices are bubbling vigorously along the skillet rim.
  6. Cool & Serve A La Mode: Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes (the spiced caramel juices will thicken slightly as it cools). Spoon warm portions into dessert bowls, top with a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, and enjoy!
