🥘Ingredients

For the Filling

6 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water

For the Topping

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 350°F.
2In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water.
3Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
4Transfer the apple mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
5Spread the apples out evenly across the bottom of the dish.
6In a separate bowl, mix together flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
7Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
9Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly around the edges.
10If the topping begins to brown too quickly, cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil.
11Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.
12This allows the filling to set slightly and makes it easier to serve.
