A classic homemade dessert featuring tender, spiced Granny Smith apples topped with a golden, buttery oat streusel. This comforting treat perfectly balances the natural tartness of fresh apples with a crunchy, caramelized topping. It is an ideal dessert for fall gatherings or a warm family dinner, delivering simple, rustic flavors that are consistently crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Scale

6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch wedges
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup brown sugar, packed firmly
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into uniform wedges.
Combine the apples with the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a large mixing bowl until evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, and brown sugar.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter until the texture resembles coarse, buttery crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the prepared apples.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

Notes

Use cold butter to ensure the topping remains crisp rather than greasy. Avoid using instant oats as they lack the necessary structure for a proper crumble. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
