Ingredients

• 6 whole Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 pint Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the slices in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss until all apple slices are evenly coated, then transfer the apples to the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt.

Step 5

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using your hands or a pastry cutter, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Evenly sprinkle the oat streusel topping over the apples in the baking dish, making sure they are fully covered.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40–45 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and crisp.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
