Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 1.5 lbs) Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.75 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 0.33 cup All-purpose flour
• 5 tablespoons Butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.125 teaspoon Salt
• 0 optional Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

Place the sliced apples into a mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat the apples evenly.

Step 3

Transfer the apples to a microwave-safe deep dish or an 8x8 inch oven-safe baking dish, spreading them evenly on the bottom.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, and salt. Mix well.

Step 5

Add the cold cubed butter to the oat mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples, covering them completely.

Step 7

For microwave cooking: Cover the dish lightly with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap with a few air vents. Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, or until the apples are soft and bubbling, and the topping appears golden. Check at the 8-minute mark to avoid overcooking.

Step 8

For oven cooking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the microwave or oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes to set.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
