Butter a 9 or 10-inch cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon butter. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and salt. Add cold butter pieces and work them in with two forks, a pastry blender, or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate crumb topping while preparing the filling. Peel and core the apples. Cut in half and cut each half lengthwise into 6 slices. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice after each addition. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Using a large spoon, stir well to combine. Transfer apples to prepared skillet and crumble topping evenly over apples. Bake until golden brown and bubbling, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer skillet to a wire rack to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
