Ingredients
Scale
Apples:
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (about 5–6 medium, preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish.
- Prepare the apples: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- Make the topping: In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and cut it into the mixture until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling around the edges.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- This recipe works well with a mix of sweet and tart apples for more flavor depth.
- For a nutty twist, add ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
