Instructions

Prepare the Apple Filling: Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add apple slices, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt. Stir and cook for 4–5 minutes until the apples soften and the mixture becomes syrupy. (Optional) Stir in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce slightly. Push apples to one side of the skillet.
Make the Oat Crumble: In the empty side of the skillet (or a separate small pan), melt butter. Add oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir frequently for 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp.
Assemble the Crisp: Combine the crumble topping with the caramelized apples in the skillet or layer them separately. Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute. Top with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle with warm caramel sauce for extra indulgence.

Notes

For a healthier option, consider using less sugar or a sugar substitute.
Feel free to mix different types of apples for varied flavor.
This dish is best served immediately while warm.
