Ingredients
-
Filling
- 8 medium peeled apples, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 10 cups)
- 1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
-
Topping
- 3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150g) packed light or dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup (85g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats
- Optional: salted caramel and vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or a 3.5-4 quart baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix all filling ingredients together, then spread into the prepared baking pan.
- To make the topping, whisk the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the oats.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake for 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold. Enjoy plain or with salted caramel and/or vanilla ice cream.
- Cover leftovers and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Apples can be peeled or unpeeled, depending on your preference.
- Ensure the butter for the topping is cold and cubed for the best crumbly texture.
- The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
