Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform half-inch pieces.
Toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Spread the seasoned apple mixture evenly into a greased nine-by-nine inch baking dish.
Combine the oats, flour, and brown sugar in a medium bowl.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping generously over the prepared apple layer.
Bake the dish for forty-five minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Cool for ten minutes before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.
Notes
Substitute Honeycrisp apples for a sweeter flavor profile. Ensure the butter remains cold to create the best texture for the topping. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
