Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 6 cups sliced and peeled apples (Fuji or Granny Smith) Works best with tart apples.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the topping
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute with whole wheat or almond flour.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with lemon juice. Toss them well and set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix the brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assembly
  1. Pour the prepared apples into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the topping evenly over the apples.
Baking
  1. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
  2. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  3. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For a different flavor profile, consider swapping the apples for pears or adding nuts to the topping. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or freeze for 2-3 months.
