Ingredients

• 6 cups apples
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 cup butter

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and slice 6 cups apples into 1/2-inch pieces. Toss with 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground cardamom, and 1/2 tsp ground ginger in a 9-inch baking dish.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon. Cut in 1/4 cup cold cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Step 3: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples. Bake for 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges.
