Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, toss 4 cups peeled and sliced tart apples with 1/3 cup maple syrup and 1 tsp ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
Step 2: Transfer the apple mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish, spreading evenly.
Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Pour in 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter and stir until mixture is crumbly and well combined.
Step 4: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples. Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and apples are bubbling and tender when pierced with a fork.
