Description
A heartwarming dessert that embodies the essence of fall, bursting with sweet and tender apples and a crispy topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cut into small cubes)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While it heats, take a 9×9-inch baking dish and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated. Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly across the bottom.
- In another bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Then, incorporate the cold butter cubes into your mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Evenly sprinkle this oat mixture over the apple layer in the baking dish.
- Place your assembled dish in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
Notes
Choose tart apples like Granny Smith for the best balance of sweetness and tartness. Allow the apple mixture to sit for about 10 minutes after tossing with sugar and spices to meld the flavors.
