Ingredients
6 cups apples (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup cold salted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform half-inch slices.
Toss the apple slices with lemon juice in a large bowl.
Arrange the apples evenly in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a separate large bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until it resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Ensure your butter is very cold before cutting it into the dry ingredients to achieve a crispier, more textured topping. Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free variation if required. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
