Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups sliced peeled baking apples
  • 6 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¾ teaspoon apple pie spice, divided
  • ¼ teaspoon plus a pinch salt, divided
  • ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375℉ and grease a 2-quart square baking dish for easy cleanup.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon of apple pie spice, and a pinch of salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated, then spread them into the prepared baking dish.
  • For the topping, stir together the oats, remaining ¼ cup of brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, the remaining ¼ teaspoon of apple pie spice, and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Sprinkle the oat topping over the apple mixture, ensuring an even layer for a perfect golden crust.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm and enjoy!
