Ingredients
– 2 cups of peeled and diced apples (I love using Granny Smith for their tartness)
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– ½ cup brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon cinnamon
– 1 cup rolled oats
– ½ cup flour
– ½ cup cold butter, cubed
– ¼ cup granulated sugar (for the topping)
– ¼ teaspoon salt
– Optional: vanilla ice cream for serving
Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowls
– Baking dish (an 8×8 inch dish works great)
– Baking parchment (optional, but it helps with clean-up)
– Knife and cutting board
– Measuring cups and spoons
– A fork or pastry cutter for mixing the topping
Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C), and it’s always fun to hear that oven click on, signaling the start of something delicious! I then grab my mixing bowl and combine the diced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon. The aroma of the cinnamon mixed with the apples is absolutely heavenly. Once they’re well coated, I pour this mixture into my greased baking dish. Make sure to spread it evenly so every bite has that sweet filling! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
