Description
This comforting dessert features tender, spiced orchard apples topped with a signature crunchy, buttery oat streusel. Designed for perfect texture contrast, the natural tartness of the apples pairs beautifully with the deep molasses notes of brown sugar. This simple, reliable recipe produces a golden-brown finish that makes it the ultimate home-baked treat for any occasion, ensuring the fruit stays in a rich sauce while the topping remains perfectly crisp.
Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Peel, core, and slice apples into uniform pieces.
Toss apple slices with lemon juice in a large bowl.
Arrange apples in a greased 9×9 baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Scatter the topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for the best texture balance. Ensure the butter is cold to achieve the proper crumbly texture for the topping. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
