Ingredients

  • 6 cups sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
  3. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt. Stir until crumbly.
  4. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
  5. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.

For extra crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping. You can also use a mix of apple varieties for added depth of flavor.
