A comforting and easy dessert featuring tender baked apples topped with a crunchy oat and spice streusel. It’s simpler than pie and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place them in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers, a pastry blender, or a fork to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour the sliced apples into a lightly greased 8×8 inch baking dish or similar oven-safe dish. Spread them evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the oat streusel topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbly.
  8. Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts to the streusel topping.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic pairing.
  • If your apples are very tart, you can add an extra tablespoon or two of sugar to the apple mixture.
