Ingredients
6 medium apples (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 scoops vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, lemon juice, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
Spread the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, 1 cup brown sugar, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple layer.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Notes
Ensure your butter is cold when cutting into the topping ingredients to achieve the best crunch. You can substitute chopped pecans or walnuts into the topping for extra texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven before serving.
