Cast Iron Stovetop Skillet Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

A cast iron skillet works beautifully 👍

And yes, there is a great stovetop method for this apple–cinnamon–raisin–pecan oatmeal bake.

Here’s how to do it in a skillet on the stove:

🍎 Stovetop Skillet Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

(Cast iron or heavy nonstick pan)

Ingredients

1 cup oats

150 ml milk

2 apples, diced

2 eggs

20 g melted butter

½ tsp vanilla

1–1½ tsp cinnamon

⅓ cup raisins

¼ cup chopped pecans

Directions (Stovetop)

Heat the skillet

Place a 10–12 inch cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Lightly grease with butter.

Sauté apples

Add diced apples with a tiny knob of butter. Cook 3–4 minutes until just starting to soften.

Mix everything

In a bowl, whisk:

Eggs

Milk

Melted butter

Vanilla

Stir in oats, cinnamon, raisins, and pecans.

Combine in skillet

Pour the oat mixture over the apples. Gently spread it evenly.

Cover & cook

Reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook 15–20 minutes.

You’re looking for the center to be set and no longer liquid.

Optional finish

If you want a lightly crisp bottom, uncover and cook 2–3 more minutes.

Rest & serve

Let it sit 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

🔥 Why cast iron is great:

It holds steady heat and gives you that lightly toasted bottom — kind of like oatmeal-meets-apple-cake 😄
