Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Granny Smith apples
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss well to coat the apple slices evenly.
Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt.
Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture and stir until crumbly and well incorporated.
Sprinkle the oat crumble topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
