Ingredients
Filling
8 medium apples (1,200g), peeled and chopped
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
Topping
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup rolled oats
Optional
Vanilla ice cream
Salted caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat & prep
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (177 °C). Lightly grease a 9×13‑inch (or any 3.5–4‑quart) baking dish. - Prepare the filling
In a large bowl, stir together the apple chunks, brown sugar, flour, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Evenly distribute the mixture across the bottom of your greased baking dish. - Make the topping
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cubed butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in the rolled oats, then evenly sprinkle this topping over the apple layer. - Bake
Bake for about 45 minutes, until the topping is golden and the apple juices are bubbling at the edges. - Cool & serve
Take it out of the oven and allow it to rest on a wire rack for a minimum of 5 minutes. Serve warm, at room temperature, or cold—optionally topped with salted caramel or vanilla ice cream.
