4 large Granny Smith apples
1 cup old fashioned oats
0.75 cup all-purpose flour
0.5 cup packed brown sugar
0.5 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
0.25 tsp salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform half-inch thick wedges.
Toss the apple slices with one tablespoon of sugar and half a teaspoon of cinnamon in a bowl.
Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and remaining cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread the apple slices evenly in the bottom of a cast-iron skillet.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
Bake for 35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling.
Substitute Honeycrisp apples for a sweeter flavor profile. Use gluten-free certified oats to make this dish gluten-friendly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
