Scale
For the Apples:
- 9-10 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced into thin 1/4" slices. (*See note below for the best apple varieties to use.)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick oats)
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) cut into 1-inch pieces
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a large casserole dish or 9×13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the apple slices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Toss to coat the apples and transfer to the prepared baking dish.
- To make the topping, combine the flour, brown sugar and oats in a medium bowl. Add the butter pieces, and with your fingers, rub the butter in the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the topping is crisp and golden and the inside is warm and bubbly.
- Let sit for about 30 minutes before serving with vanilla ice cream
Notes
*It’s best to use a combination of apples that stay firm when baked (such as Cortland, Honey Crisp or Gravenstein) as well as some apples that cook down to a soft consistency when baked (such as MacIntosh).
