Tender spiced apples baked beneath a buttery brown sugar and oat topping until golden, crisp and bubbling.
Ingredients
- 1⅓ kg apples peeled, cored and cut into ½-inch (1¼ cm) slices (about 8 cups)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg

- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp kosher salt

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. In small bowl, stir together sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and salt; sprinkle over apples, tossing to coat.
- Spread 1 tbsp butter over 9 to 10-inch (23 to 25 cm) cast-iron pan or 2L casserole dish. Scrape apple mixture into prepared pan.
Topping
- In bowl, stir together oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Grate butter using large-holed side of box grater. Using fingers, rub butter into mixture until it resembles fine crumbs. Evenly sprinkle topping over apples, pressing down gently.
