Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 6 cups sliced apples (preferably Granny Smith for tartness)
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar Feel free to reduce for a healthier option
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Add more if you're a cinnamon lover!
For the Topping
  • 1 cup rolled oats Use gluten-free if necessary
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Whole wheat can be a nice substitution
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For that extra layer of flavor
  • 0.5 cups granulated sugar Remaining sugar for topping
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon For topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Spread the apples evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Topping
  1. In another bowl, mix together the oats, flour, remaining sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir until crumbly.
  2. Sprinkle the topping over the apples, making sure to cover them evenly.
Baking

  2. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting on top.

Notes

Add nuts or a mix of fruits for customization. Replace sugar with honey or maple syrup for healthier options. Serve in ramekins or a large dish, topped with ice cream or whipped cream.
