Ingredients

Scale

6 large Granny Smith apples
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for apple toss)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice apples into uniform half-inch pieces.
Toss apple slices in a large bowl with lemon juice and granulated sugar.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread the seasoned apple slices evenly into a baking dish.
Sprinkle the oat crumble topping generously over the apples.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Substitute Honeycrisp apples if you prefer a sweeter fruit base. Ensure your butter is very cold when cutting it into the dry ingredients to achieve the signature sandy texture. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
