Ingredients
  

Apple filling
  • 6 medium apples about 2 pounds; peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
Oat crumble
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cold and cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt

Instructions
 

Method
  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter a 9-inch square or similar 2-quart baking dish.
  2. Toss the sliced apples with the brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, and salt. Spread evenly in the prepared dish.
  3. Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Rub in the cold butter until the mixture contains both sandy crumbs and small pebbly clusters.
  4. Scatter the crumble loosely over the apples without pressing. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until the juices bubble around the edges and the topping is golden.
  5. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving so the fruit juices can settle.
