Ingredients

  • 6 medium apples (6 cups), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 3/4 cup uncooked old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Ground cinnamon for sprinkling
  • Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread (as needed)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F and position the rack in the middle
  • Peel, core, and slice apples into 1/4-inch thick slices; arrange in an ungreased 2-quart baking dish
  • Combine oats, brown sugar, and flour in a bowl; add Cinnamon Sugar Butter Spread and mash with a fork until crumbly with pea-sized clumps
  • Sprinkle topping over apples; dust with ground cinnamon if desired
  • Bake 25–35 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown; rotate halfway through
  • Cool for 5–10 minutes before serving warm with whipped cream or ice cream

Notes

Use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Fuji for balanced flavor
Cut apples evenly (1/4-inch) for uniform cooking and firmer texture
Avoid over-mixing topping to maintain crumbly texture
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days
