Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform half-inch pieces.
Toss the apples in a large bowl with the granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased nine-by-nine inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, and brown sugar.
Cut the cold cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread the streusel topping evenly over the apple layer.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Ensure the butter is cold before cutting it into the dry ingredients to achieve the best crumbly texture. For added flavor, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
