YIELD
1 (10-inch) crisp
This recipe uses 4 (1.5-ounce) packets of instant oatmeal, but not all oatmeal packets are the same size. That’s why I provide a cup measurement as well so you can use whatever brand of oatmeal packets you have on hand.
If you have a bit of extra oatmeal leftover in a packet after making the topping, you can always sauté it with the apples so none goes to waste.

If you use unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the topping.

Ingredients
1 1/3 cups flavored instant oatmeal (from about 4 packets), such as Maple & Brown Sugar or Cinnamon & Spice
1/2 cup (1 stick) cold salted butter, cut into 1 tablespoon-sized pieces, divided
2 pounds apples (4 large or 5 medium), peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks

Method
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Arrange a rack in the center of the oven.

Make the topping:
Add the instant oatmeal to a medium bowl. Add 6 tablespoons of the butter and press and squeeze it into the oats with your fingertips until moist crumbs form. Transfer to the refrigerator.

Sauté the apples:
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a 10-inch skillet (preferably oven-safe, like cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized in spots and beginning to soften, 5 to 7 minutes. (Reduce the heat to medium if the apples are browning too quickly.) Remove from the heat.

Add the topping:
If you’re not using an oven-safe skillet, transfer the apples to a 2-quart baking dish.

Scatter the topping over the apples. It likely won’t cover them entirely.

Bake the crisp:
Bake until the juices around the edges of the skillet are bubbling, the apples are tender, and the topping is golden-brown and crisp, 18 to 24 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
