THE recipe: (There are also others. I DO like the way this sounds.)

Skillet Apple Crisp

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter
2 pounds apples, cored and chopped
3/4 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Salt
Put 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fruit to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally until soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
Put 5 tablespoons butter in another large skillet over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the nuts, lemon zest, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt; toss to coat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the topping is golden and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes.
When the fruit is soft, divide it among bowls. Scatter the topping over the fruit and serve.
