There is something so special about the smell of cinnamon and baked apples filling the kitchen. This recipe is a classic in my home because it uses simple pantry staples and comes together so quickly whenever you need a little comfort.

My best tip is to serve this while it is still warm from the oven. If you want to make it extra special, add a generous scoop of vanilla bean ice cream right on top of the crunchy oat topping.

🧺 Ingredients

6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples
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 salted butter, cubed

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and lightly grease a medium baking dish.
2
Toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, and cinnamon in a large bowl, then spread them evenly into the prepared baking dish.
3
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, and brown sugar together.
4
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs.
5
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples.
6
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the topping 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 reheat individual portions in the microwave or oven until warm. This dish also tastes delicious served cold with a dollop of whipped cream.
