Yield:
8 to 10 servings
Ingredients
10 large apples
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup rolled (old-fashioned) oats
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
14 tablespoons cold, salted butter, cut into small cubes
Cinnamon for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and set a rack to the middle position. Peel, core, and slice the apples into ¼-inch-thick slices (an old-fashioned apple corer/peeler is perfect for this). Pile the slices in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt. Sprinkle the butter cubes over this mixture, then use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until you have a sandy-looking mixture with pea-size bits of butter. Distribute the topping over the prepared apples and sprinkle with cinnamon, if using.
Bake until the top is golden brown and the apple juices are bubbling, 50 to 55 minutes. Serve warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if you’d like.
