How to Make Apples With Crunchy Topping

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel, core, and thinly slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups).
  3. Spread the apples evenly in a greased 8-inch round baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups rolled oats, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, ½ cup all-purpose flour, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a drizzle of cream.
