6 cups Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Peel, core, and slice your apples into thin 1/4 inch slices.
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with half of the granulated sugar and half of the cinnamon.
Spread the apple mixture evenly into a lightly greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, remaining granulated sugar, and remaining cinnamon.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Ensure the butter is very cold to achieve the best crunchy, buttery topping texture. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla 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 or microwave.
