Ingredients
6 cups apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (cubed)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice apples into uniform half-inch thick wedges.
Toss the apples with two tablespoons of sugar and one teaspoon of cinnamon in a large bowl.
Combine oats, flour, remaining brown sugar, and salt in a separate bowl.
Incorporate cold cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Transfer apples into a greased 9×9 baking dish.
Spread the oat crumble mixture evenly over the apples without pressing down.
Bake for forty minutes or until the topping is golden brown and fruit juices are bubbling.
Notes
Ensure the butter is kept cold until the last moment to achieve the best crumb texture.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a drizzle of heavy cream.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to crisp up the topping.
