Notes

It is important to use old-fashioned, or steel cut oats. Using instant oats will turn to mush before the apples and crust have formed.
Steel cut oats may require slightly longer cook time.
Make sure your skillet is oven-proof, no plastic! We like this Lodge cast iron, just take the removable handle cover off before throwing it in the oven.
