Ingredients

Amounts are rounded when scaled. Tick items as you gather them.

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Toss the apples with the lemon juice, sugar and half the cinnamon and spread them in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and the rest of the cinnamon.
  3. Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until you have clumpy crumbs with some pea-size pieces.
  4. Scatter the topping over the apples and bake 40 to 50 minutes, until the topping is golden and the juices bubble at the edges.
  5. Cool at least 15 minutes before serving; the juices thicken as it cools.

Tips

  • Mix tart and sweet apples for the best flavour.
  • Cold butter makes a crunchier topping.

Storing

Cover and keep at room temperature 1 day, then refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven.

Swaps

Replace the flour with more oats for a looser topping. Pears work in place of apples.
