There is something truly special about the smell of cinnamon and baked apples filling the kitchen. It is one of those classic desserts that everyone seems to love, especially when served with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

My best tip is to use a mix of apple varieties to get a nice balance of sweetness and tartness. Granny Smith apples work wonderfully here because they hold their shape well and provide a nice contrast to the sugary, buttery topping.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a square baking dish.

  2. 2

    Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, white sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl, then spread them evenly into your prepared dish.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

    Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the cold butter into the flour mixture until it looks like coarse crumbs.

  5. 5

    Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.

  6. 6

    Bake for about 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. You can warm individual portions in the microwave for a few seconds before serving. It also tastes great cold for breakfast the next morning.
