Ingredients

• 6 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss until the apple slices are evenly coated, then transfer them to the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 5

Cut the unsalted butter into cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, blend the butter into the mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 6

Stir the vanilla extract into the crumble topping, then evenly sprinkle it over the apples in the baking dish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and crisp.

Step 8

Allow the Golden Apple Bake to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
