Ingredients
Scale
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 cups peeled and sliced tart apples (such as Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
For the Oat Topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cut into small cubes)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated. Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Make the Oat Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling and tender.
- Serve: Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- You can add chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free oats and flour.
