Ingredients

• 4 whole (medium) Granny Smith apples
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 1/3 cup Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 1/3 cup Rolled oats
• 0 Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the Granny Smith apples. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the lemon juice, granulated sugar, and ground cinnamon to the apples. Toss until the apple slices are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and brown sugar. Mix together until well incorporated.

Step 5

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6

Stir in the rolled oats, distributing them evenly throughout the streusel mixture.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apple layer in the baking dish.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the streusel cool for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
