Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 4 tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for best results
For the topping
  • 3/4 cup old fashioned oats Adds heartiness and fiber
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar Provides sweetness and caramelized flavor
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Helps bind the topping

  2. Cut the cold salted butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Baking

Serving
