I first made this recipe on our local morning news show. Because I like easy and delicious recipes, I knew this one would be a winner.
I use any apples that I have left over, maybe picking up a few extra at the market. Topped with ice cream (or poured over with cream for breakfast) this recipe will work with peaches too.
For this recipe I didn’t peel the apples, but you could if you wanted to. I used Cutco’s 4" Paring Knife to cut even slices.
Having the apple slices at the same thickness will assure even cooking and a sharp knife makes all the difference.
To mix the crumb topping, if you don’t have a pastry blender, you can easily use a dinner fork, since you want the mixture to be just combined into small crumbs.
Ingredients
For the crumb topping
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
For the apple filling:
- 3-4 large apples, sliced thin, (Granny Smith, Gala, Honeycrisp, Braeburn)
- 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
For the crumb topping:
- Combine all topping ingredients in a medium bowl. Use a fork or a pastry blender to combine. It should look like small crumbs. Set aside.
For the apple filling:
- Place apples in large bowl.
- In another bowl stir the melted butter and flour until well blended. Add lemon juice, milk and vanilla and stir well. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.
- Pour butter mixture over apples and toss to coat. Pour apple mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer.
- Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and top is set.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
