  • 8 medium peeled apples, cut into 1-inch chunks that are 1/4 – 1/2 inch thick
  • 1/2 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 3/4 cup  all-purpose flour 
  • 3/4 cup  packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 cup (85g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Mix all of the filling ingredients together in a large bowl, then spread into the baking pan.
  3. Make the topping: Whisk the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter using a fork until the mixture becomes super crumbly. Stir in the oats. Sprinkle over filling.
  4. Bake for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and bubbling around the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold; plain or with vanilla ice cream.
