Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 6 cups of peeled, sliced apples (about 6-8 medium apples; Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
For the Topping:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and flour. Toss until the apples are well-coated. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture is crumbly and evenly combined.
- Assemble: Evenly distribute the topping over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream!
Tips
- Apple Varieties: Feel free to mix different apple varieties for added flavor and texture.
- Spices: Customize with additional spices like ginger or allspice for extra warmth.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
