Ingredients

Filling

5 cups fresh apples, sliced
0.5 cup granulated white sugar
0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

0.5 cup all purpose flour
0.33 cup old fashioned oats
0.67 cup packed brown sugar
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
0.25 cup (½ stick) butter, melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a deep dish pie plate or large baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Combine the sliced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and mix until all of the apples are evenly coated. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate medium size bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted butter and stir until well coated and crumbly. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the top of the apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes until fruit is soft and the topping is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!

Notes

Slice your apples evenly for even baking. Prevent over-browning by covering with aluminum foil if needed during baking. Optional additions include chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts, and serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream enhances the flavor.
