Ingredients

Scale

6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform segments.
Toss the apples in a large bowl with the sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture to a greased nine-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, and the remaining sugar.
Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apple layer.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Notes

Use light brown sugar instead of granulated for added depth of flavor. Ensure you use firm baking apples like Granny Smith to maintain the best structure. Do not use instant oats as they will not provide the same desired texture.
