How to Make Apple Cinnamon Butter Crunch

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 9x9 inch or 11x7 inch baking pan with butter.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine all the butter crunch ingredients (see below) and mix well with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
  4. Press half of the butter crunch mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon to evenly distribute and press lightly.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown.
  6. While the crust bakes, prepare the apple filling: In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples (about 4 medium), brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and melted butter. Toss gently to coat evenly.
  7. Carefully pour the apple mixture over the baked crust.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the remaining butter crunch mixture evenly over the top.
  10. Return to the oven for 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is set.
  11. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy warm, or serve chilled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
