There is nothing quite like the smell of cinnamon and baked apples filling the kitchen on a crisp afternoon. This recipe is a favorite because it uses simple pantry staples to turn fresh fruit into something warm and wonderful.

My best tip is to use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. The contrast in textures makes every bite taste just a little bit better.

🧺 Ingredients

6 cups sliced apples
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cold butter, cubed

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and half of the cinnamon.
3
Transfer the apple mixture into a greased baking dish.
4
In a separate bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, and the remaining cinnamon.
5
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs.
6
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
7
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the fruit is bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
8
Let it cool for about ten minutes before you serve it.

💡 Tips

Serve this warm with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on top. You can store any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days, just reheat them in the oven to keep the topping crunchy.
