Ingredients
6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
3. In another bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add cold butter pieces and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture is crumbly.
4. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbly and soft.
6. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
For extra crunch, add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping.
A mix of tart and sweet apples (like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp) adds depth of flavor.
To make gluten-free, substitute flour with a gluten-free blend and use certified gluten-free oats.
