Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, chilled
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin, even pieces. Place them in a large bowl.
Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the apples and gently toss to combine. Set aside.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Cut the chilled unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Spread the apple mixture in an even layer in an 8x8-inch baking dish.
Sprinkle the oat and butter mixture evenly over the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow the apple crunch to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
