For The Streusel Topping:
Add 2 cups of gluten free oats (or regular oats if not gluten free), ½ cup gluten free flour blend (or regular AP flour if not gluten free), 1 ½ tsp. cinnamon, ⅛ tsp. nutmeg, ½ packed cup brown sugar, and ¼ tsp. kosher salt to the bowl of a KitchenAid mixer. Cut 6 Tbsp. of cold butter into pieces and add them to the bowl. Using the paddle attachment of the mixer combine all of the ingredients together on medium-low speed until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Generously greasing a 12″ cast iron skillet with butter. The butter will help to prevent the apples from sticking to the bottom. Pour the diced apples (and juices) and spread them evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top of the apples.
Place the skillet into an oven that has been heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, loosely place a pieces of foil over the top, and bake for 45 minutes. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes (60 minutes total).
Remove the skillet from the oven when finished baking and cool before serving.
To Serve: Serve with whipped cream or ice cream (optional).
Baking times may vary slightly. The apple crisp is done when the apples are easily pierced with a fork or knife. They should be soft but not mushy.
The streusel topping may be made by using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers if you do not have a KitchenAid or stand mixer.
