Ingredients

Scale

6 cups Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup rolled old-fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

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 granulated sugar and cinnamon until evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased 9-by-9 inch baking dish.
Combine oats, flour, and brown sugar in a medium mixing bowl.
Cut cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until it resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Notes

Use a mix of apple varieties for the best flavor and texture contrast. Ensure butter is kept cold until the last moment to guarantee a light, crisp topping rather than a dense one. Can be served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream.
