Stovetop Apple Crisp

5 tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup rolled oats (not quick cooking)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tart (Braeburn or Jonagold) apples, cored & sliced into ¼-inch pieces (4 cups)
1/4 cup golden raisins
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
salt
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

1. Over medium heat, melt 3 tbsp. butter in a nonstick skillet. Stir in pecans, oats, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt, and cook until mixture begins to brown, 5-6 minutes. (Cook the pecan-oat mixture over medium heat – too hot and the nuts and sugar will burn.) Transfer to a parchment-lined plate.

2. Wipe out skillet and return it to the burner. Add the remaining 2 tbsp. butter, apples and raisins. Saute over medium heat to soften, about 5-8 minutes. Stir in sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and another pinch of salt; simmer 2 minutes. Serve warm apples with crunchy topping and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. (Serves 2)
