Ingredients

Scale

6 large Granny Smith apples
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon sugar (for fruit toss)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grease an 8×8 baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Peel, core, and slice apples into uniform half-inch thick pieces.
Toss apples in a large bowl with one tablespoon of sugar and half a teaspoon of cinnamon.
Spread apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and remaining cinnamon in a mixing bowl.
Cut cold butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until crumbly.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and fruit juices bubble.
Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Keep your butter cold to ensure the topping remains crisp rather than greasy. You may substitute Honeycrisp apples if you prefer a sweeter flavor profile. Gluten-free flour blends work perfectly as a substitute for all-purpose flour.
