Ingredients
6 large apples (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Peel, core, and slice apples into uniform half-inch thick wedges.
Toss apple slices with lemon juice and two tablespoons of sugar in a large bowl.
Spread the apple mixture evenly into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Use a mix of apple varieties for the best texture and flavor balance. Ensure the butter is cold before cutting it into the dry ingredients to maintain a crisp topping. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
