Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Apple Filling:

  • 6 cups peeled and sliced Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Topping:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cut into small cubes)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×9-inch or similar baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Spread evenly in the prepared dish.
  3. Make the Topping: In another bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
  4. Bake: Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
  5. Serve: Let cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • For extra crunch, add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping.
  • Can be made a few hours ahead and reheated before serving.
