Ingredients

• 4 large Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 3 medium Bananas
• 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
• 0.75 cup Rolled oats
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a large mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 3

Peel and slice the bananas, then add them to the mixing bowl with the apples. Gently toss to combine.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.

Step 5

Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the oat mixture. Stir well until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.

Step 6

Transfer the apple and banana mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit mixture. Then, scatter the sliced almonds over the top for added crunch.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
