Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss 6 medium peeled, cored, and sliced apples with 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the apple mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Add 6 tbsp cold diced unsalted butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
  5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
