Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking dish or a similar casserole dish.
Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges. Arrange the apple slices evenly in the prepared dish.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apples.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and the remaining 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Add the salt and mix well.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until evenly distributed.
Spread the crumb mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish, ensuring all the apples are covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
