Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly coated. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- In another bowl, combine flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples, pressing down lightly to create an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the filling to set and makes it easier to serve.
Notes
Chef's Tips:
• For best results, use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
• Avoid overmixing the topping to maintain its crumbly texture.
• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Food Safety:
• Ensure apples are thoroughly washed before use to remove any potential contaminants.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator within two hours of serving to prevent spoilage.
