Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for fruit)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice and a pinch of cinnamon in a large bowl.
Spread the apple mixture evenly into a greased nine-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and one teaspoon of cinnamon.
Cut the cold cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple layer.
Bake on the center rack for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is deep golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Ensure the butter is cold before cutting it into the flour mixture to achieve the perfect crisp texture. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You can substitute almond flour for a gluten-free version if needed.
