There is nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven as September rolls around. This recipe is a simple favorite that brings warmth to your kitchen and is always a hit with the whole family.

My best tip is to use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. This creates a balanced flavor that keeps the dessert from being too sugary while maintaining a great texture.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups peeled and sliced apples
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease an eight inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and half of the cinnamon in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Spread the apple mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish.

  4. 4

    In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, and the remaining cinnamon.

  5. 5

    Cut the cold butter into the oat mixture using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it looks like coarse crumbs.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the topping over the apples in an even layer.

  7. 7

    Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

  8. 8

    Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh whipped cream. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat in the oven to crisp up the topping again.
