Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, toss 6 medium apples with 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; transfer to a 9x9-inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; add 1/4 cup cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter to cut butter into mixture until crumbly.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle oat mixture evenly over apples, then dot with 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 35-40 minutes until apples are tender and topping is golden brown with bubbling edges.
  5. Step 5: Let cool for 15 minutes to allow filling to set before serving with vanilla ice cream.
