Ingredients

Main Ingredients

6 cups apples peeled, cored, and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
0.5 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup light brown sugar packed
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.5 cup unsalted butter cold and cubed

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
