Ingredients:
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
For the Oat Topping:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and flour until the apples are evenly coated. Spread the apples evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Make the oat topping: In another bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes and, using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Assemble the crumble: Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple mixture.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
