There is nothing quite like the smell of apples and cinnamon baking in the oven. This recipe is a favorite in my home because it is so simple to put together when you want a sweet treat without all the fuss of making a pie crust.

I always try to pick a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. If you want to make this even better, add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream right on top while the fruit is still hot and bubbly.

🧺 Ingredients

  • 6 cups tart apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

👩‍🍳Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a 9 by 9 inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the granulated sugar and cinnamon until they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

    Cut the softened butter into the dry mixture using a fork or your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.

  7. 7

    Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling around the edges.

💡 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 served cold for breakfast with a spoonful of yogurt.
