Ingredients
– 6 medium-sized apples (I like to use a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice
– 1 cup rolled oats
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
Equipment Needed
– A 9×13-inch baking dish
– Mixing bowls
– Whisk or fork for mixing
– Peeler and corer for the apples
– Measuring cups and spoons
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C), which warms up my kitchen and sets the mood for baking. As I peel and core the apples, the sweet aroma begins to fill the air, reminding me of family gatherings from my childhood. I slice the apples into thin pieces and toss them in a large mixing bowl with the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. This not only enhances their natural flavors but also moistens them so beautifully. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
