Ingredients

• For the filling
• 6 medium apples (Honeycrisp, Granny Smith or a mix), peeled and sliced
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• For the topping
• 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 350°F and butter a 9-inch square or 2-quart baking dish.
2. Toss the apples with the sugar, lemon juice, flour and cinnamon. Spread in the dish.
3. For the topping, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Work in the butter with your fingers until clumps form.
4. Scatter the topping over the apples.
5. Bake 40 to 45 minutes, until the topping is golden and the juices bubble around the edges.
6. Cool 15 minutes and serve warm, with ice cream if you like.

Why this recipe works

Mixing tart and sweet apples gives a filling that holds its shape and isn't too sugary. Cold butter rubbed into the oat topping bakes into crunchy clusters.

Tips, substitutions & storage

• Swap: Use pears or a mix of apples and frozen berries.
• Swap: Use gluten-free oats and a 1:1 gluten-free flour for a gluten-free topping.
• Mixing tart and sweet apples gives the best flavor and texture.
• Add 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the topping for extra crunch.
• Leftovers keep 4 days in the fridge; rewarm in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes.
