September is such a special time of year when we start trading our cold summer salads for warm, cozy desserts. There is nothing quite like the smell of cinnamon and baked apples filling the house on a crisp evening.

I love this recipe because it is simple to put together and always gets rave reviews from my family. My secret tip is to use a mix of tart Granny Smith and sweet Honeycrisp apples to get the best flavor balance.

🧺 Ingredients

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

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cinnamon until they are evenly coated.
3
Spread the apple mixture into a greased baking dish.
4
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, and brown sugar together.
5
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the topping looks like coarse crumbs.
6
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
7
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
8
Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a big scoop of vanilla bean 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 them in the oven to keep the topping crunchy.
