- Toss sliced apples with granulated sugar and lemon juice; spread evenly in prepared dish.
- In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Cut cold butter into oat mixture using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture is crumbly.
- Sprinkle topping evenly over apples.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until topping is golden brown and apples are bubbly and tender.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
A little kitchen know-how
Use tart apples like Granny Smith for balanced sweetness and firm texture.
