Ingredients
- 6 golden delicious apples, peeled and chopped
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- pinch of kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Butter an 8×8 baking dish or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine chopped apples, granulated sugar, 3/4 tsp cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir to combine.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, combine topping ingredients: brown sugar, oats, flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, salt, and diced cold butter.
- Cut the butter into the oat mixture using a pastry blender, two forks, or your hands until it resembles pea-sized crumbs.
- Spread the topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
