Ingredients
Scale
- For the Apple Filling:
- 6 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- For the Topping:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Apples: In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples with cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. Transfer to a greased 9-inch baking dish.
- Make the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and vanilla, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble and Bake: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture. Bake for 45 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving, ideally with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Apple Choice: Using a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp can enhance the flavor.
- Oats: Old-fashioned oats are recommended for the best texture, but quick oats can be used in a pinch.
- Storage: Store in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven or microwave as needed.
