Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, toss 5 cups peeled and sliced tart apples with 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until the apples are well coated.
  2. Step 2: Transfer the apple mixture evenly into a 9-inch square baking dish.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, combine 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 2/3 cup packed brown sugar. Add 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter cut into cubes.
  4. Step 4: Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the oat mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
  6. Step 6: Bake uncovered for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
  7. Step 7: Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
