Apple Skillet Pie

Okay, so this isn't a sewing post, other than I wore an apron that I made while baking this pie. But, this recipe turned out really well, and I want to make sure I have it documented somewhere for later reference. I got the recipe from watching an episode of America's Test Kitchen, but can't access the recipe on their website without a subscription. So, I wrote down what I did:

Ingredients:
3 lb. apples (~7, Golden Delicious recommended), cored, peeled, sliced
1/2 c. granulated sugar (divided)
3/4 tsp. cinnamon (divided)
1 c. apple cider
3/4 c. flour
3/4 c. chopped pecans
3/4 c. rolled oats
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
8 tbsp. melted unsalted butter
2 tbsp. butter
2 tsp. lemon juice


1. In large bowl, toss apples, 1/4 c. sugar, 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
2. In 12" skillet, heat cider over medium heat until reduced to 1/2 c. Set reduced cider aside and add lemon juice.
3. In medium bowl, combine flour, pecans, oats, brown sugar, 1/4 c. granulated sugar, salt, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Stir in melted butter. Set topping aside.
4. Preheat oven to 450 deg. F
5. In skillet, melt 2 tbsp. butter. Add apple mix and cook over medium heat for approx. 12 minutes. Apples should be starting to caramelize. Remove from heat.
6. Add cider to apples and stir to coat.
7. Sprinkle topping evenly over apples in skillet.
8. Put skillet on a baking sheet in the oven and cook ~ 15 minutes, until topping starts to brown and filling bubbles.
9. Eat, for breakfast if you live in my house :-)
