Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 large Honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1.5 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup caramel sauce (non-alcoholic)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with half of the cinnamon and the lemon juice.
Spread the apple mixture evenly into a greased 9×13 baking dish.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the apple layer.
In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, remaining cinnamon, and sugar.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until the texture is crumbly.
Sprinkle the oat crumble mixture uniformly over the caramel-coated apples.
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Ensure your butter is truly cold when cutting it into the flour mixture to achieve the perfect crumbly texture. Serve warm, preferably with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
