Ingredients

• 6 large Granny Smith apples
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 1 pint Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the Granny Smith apples into thin wedges, then place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, cornstarch, and lemon juice to the apples. Mix until the apples are evenly coated, then transfer the apple mixture to the prepared baking dish.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and brown sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and, using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped pecans and rolled oats to the streusel mixture. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the apples in the baking dish.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Remove the dessert from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
