Ingredients

  • 6 cups sliced tart apples (like Granny Smith)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the sliced apples into a greased 8-inch square baking dish and pour water over them.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, oats, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until crumbly.
  4. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples.
  5. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and apples are tender.
  6. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

Use tart apples for the best flavor and adjust the sugar depending on their sweetness. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge and reheated.
