Directions
- For streusel topping, in medium bowl, combine oats, flour, granulated and brown sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Stir in melted butter until evenly moistened. Cover and refrigerate.
- For cake, preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 10-inch cast-iron skillet with parchment paper. Brush softened butter onto parchment paper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Using a pastry blender, cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Make a well in center of the flour mixture.
- In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk and vanilla; add all at once to flour mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. Spread dough in an even layer in prepared skillet. Toss apple slices with lemon juice; arrange on dough. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with streusel topping.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool slightly in skillet before cutting into wedges. Serve with ice cream and caramel sauce.
