Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss 6 cups peeled and sliced apples with 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
  2. Step 2: In another bowl, mix 1 cup oats, 1/3 cup flour, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 1/2 cup cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Step 3: Transfer apples to a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with the oat mixture, pressing it gently into the apples. Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.
