Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss until the apple slices are evenly coated, then transfer them to the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Cut the unsalted butter into cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
Stir the vanilla extract into the crumble topping, then evenly sprinkle it over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and crisp.
Allow the Golden Apple Bake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
