Ingredients

6 medium, peeled and sliced apples
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1.5 tsp cinnamon
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup, cold, cubed butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, toss 6 peeled, sliced apples with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1.5 tsp cinnamon, and 3 tbsp flour until evenly coated. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: In another bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup cold cubed butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work until crumbly and pea-sized.
Step 3: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples. Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
Step 4: Let cool for 20 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
