Ingredients
  

Filling
  • 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Topping
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats can substitute with almond flour for a gluten-free option
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar or substitute with granulated sugar if unavailable
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened can use coconut oil for a healthier option
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the apples evenly.
  3. Spread the apple mixture in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
Topping
  1. In a separate bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Cut in the softened butter with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples.
Baking
  1. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to thicken.

Notes

Serve warm, drizzled with cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes.
