Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced thin
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform half-inch thick pieces.
Toss the sliced apples with a dash of cinnamon and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased nine-inch square baking dish.
Combine the oats, flour, and brown sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until crumbly.
Spread the oat mixture evenly over the prepared apples in the baking dish.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
Notes
Use Honeycrisp apples as a great alternative to Granny Smith for a slightly sweeter flavor profile. Ensure the butter is cold to achieve the best crumbly texture for the topping. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.
