Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, divided
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into half-inch thick wedges.
Toss the apple wedges in a large bowl with the granulated sugar and half of the cinnamon.
Spread the seasoned apples evenly into a greased 9×9 baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and remaining cinnamon.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the oat mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apples.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Notes
Substitute Honeycrisp apples for a sweeter flavor profile. Ensure the butter remains cold when incorporating into the dry ingredients to achieve the perfect crumbly texture. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
