Preparation
  1. Wash and peel the apples, then chop them into small pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chopped apples with 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, allspice, and salt. Mix everything until the apples are well coated.

  2. Add the cold, unsalted butter to the mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Assembly

Baking
  1. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Serving

Notes
