Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large Honeycrisp apples, peeled and sliced into thin wedges
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- Optional: 1/4 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Let sit for a few minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold cubed butter using a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the oat streusel topping over the apples and press down lightly.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and apples are tender.
- Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow juices to thicken.
Notes
Use cold butter for a crumbly topping. Honeycrisp apples are recommended as they hold their shape. If using frozen apples, thaw and pat dry to prevent excess moisture. For a gluten-free version, use GF flour and certified GF oats. For dairy-free, use vegan butter or coconut oil.
