Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, sliced into 1/2-inch wedges
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Toss the apple slices in a large bowl with lemon juice and two tablespoons of sugar, then transfer into the baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, remaining brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Incorporate the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized chunks.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Ensure the butter is cold before cutting it into the dry ingredients to guarantee a crunchy topping texture. You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend if desired.
