YUM!! These are sooo easy and sooo delicious. I wanted to make something last year on the smoker with cast iron pans so I started googling cast iron recipes. I ran across this site and found the apple bake recipe and tweaked it a bit. I thought the smoker would add just the extra bit of autumn yumminess to the recipe. I was wrong. The smoker adds an incredible flavor to these hot little cinnamon apples! Perfect for football season or once the temperature drops below 80 degrees in Texas.
This recipe makes three big cast iron pans full of apples and serves a bunch of people! I have no idea how many people before we ran out. Probably 50-75 spoonfuls or so??? If you aren't cooking for the masses, divide as needed for smaller groups. :-)
24 large apples
2-3 sticks of butter
small container of quick rolled oats
bag of brown sugar
cinnamon
We peel the apples and cut into 1/4" slices. Cover the bottom of the cast iron pan with apples slices and a solid second layer over the bottom layer. As they cook, they shrink a bit. Start with about a cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of oatmeal per pan and several shakes of cinnamon...probably about 1/8 of a cup of cinnamon per pan. Slice up butter and we start with about 1/4 stick of butter to each pan. As they cook, stir occasionally and add more butter, oats or more sugar to get the mixture to a nice thick consistency. I think the smoker heats to about 300 degrees and it takes about 30 minutes for the apples to get soft.
