Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Toss 6 peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples with 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the apple mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Cut in 6 tbsp cold cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Step 4: Sprinkle the oat crumble mixture evenly over the apples.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling and tender.
  6. Step 6: Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
