Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp sugar (for apple toss)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with butter.
Peel, core, and slice apples into uniform half-inch thick wedges.
Toss apple slices with lemon juice and a dash of sugar in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until crumbs form.
Spread the apples evenly into the baking dish.
Sprinkle the oat mixture over the fruit layer and press down lightly.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Notes
Use a mix of apple varieties for more complex flavor. Ensure the butter is cold to achieve the best crumbly texture. Serving warm with vanilla ice cream is highly recommended.
