Warm, spiced cinnamon-sugar apples baked under a golden, buttery oat crumble. Best served warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Apple Filling

  • 6 medium baking apples (Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Gala), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened or melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. Prepare the Apples:In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
  3. Make the Topping:In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, and brown sugar. Add the butter and mix using a fork or pastry blender until coarse crumbs form.
  4. Assemble & Bake:Scatter the oat topping evenly over the apple layer. Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden-brown and the fruit juices are bubbling around the edges.
  5. Serve:Let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel.

Quick Tips

  • Best Apples: A mix of tart (Granny Smith) and sweet (Honeycrisp/Pink Lady) provides great flavor and texture.
  • Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to restore crispness.
