Ingredients

  • 1 apple, large dice
  • 1 12 teaspoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 12 teaspoons oats
  • 12 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  • Preheat broiler to HIGH.
  • In a small oven-proof dish or cast-iron skillet, place the diced apple in an even layer.
  • In a small bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and salt with a fork or your fingers.
  • Once this mixture comes together to the consistency of a thick paste, take small amounts and top the apple pieces with it.
  • Place this under the broiler, stirring the mixture every 2-3 minutes so that the sugar does not burn and so the apples are evenly coated with the sugar/butter mix.
  • Once the apples are fork tender, or once they can be easily smashed with the back of a spoon, they are done.
  • From here, you can either keep the apples whole and bake it in a crust as a pie (you'd probably want to double, triple, or even quadruple the recipe if you plan to use it for a pie.)
  • OR --
  • Put the warm mixture into a food processor and pulse the mix until it forms as chunky sauce.
  • You can use this as a dessert dip, a filling for crepes, or a spread on toasts.
  • Basically, you can do whatever you want with the mix, whether it's been processed or not, it's delicious nonetheless.
  • Enjoy!
