Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 4-5 cups Apples, peeled and sliced (tart varieties like Granny Smith work best)
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and helps thicken the filling.
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar Adds richness to both the filling and topping.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Essential for the warm flavor.
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg Elevates the apple flavor.
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt Balances the sweetness.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour Necessary for a crumbly topping.
  • ½ cup Quick Oats Adds texture to the topping.
  • ½ cup Butter, softened Provides richness and binds the topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
Topping
  1. In another bowl, combine the remaining flour, brown sugar, oats, and softened butter. Mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Baking
  1. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish and layer the apple mixture evenly across the bottom.
  2. Sprinkle the oat topping generously over the apples.
  3. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are soft.
  4. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
