One pan, seven ways. Everything here comes out of cast iron — the hard sear, the smoking blackened crust, the gravy, the cornbread, the cobbler. Nothing leaves the kitchen that wasn't cooked on seasoned metal.

Ingredients
- 6 firm apples, peeled and thick-sliced
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 lemon
Preparation
1
Melt 3 tbsp butter in the skillet and cook the apples with 1/3 cup brown sugar over medium-high 10 minutes, until they release liquid and it reduces to a syrup.
2
Cooking the fruit down first is what separates a crisp from a soupy one. Do not skip to the oven.
3
Add the juice of the lemon and take the pan off the heat.
4
Rub the remaining cold butter into the oats, flour, remaining brown sugar, cinnamon and salt until it clumps.
5
Scatter the topping over the apples in loose handfuls, leaving gaps for steam to escape.
6
Bake at 375F for 30 minutes until the topping is browned and the fruit bubbles up at the edges.
7
Rest 10 minutes before serving — straight out of the oven it is molten and tastes of nothing but heat.
