Ingredients

  • 6 cups of peeled, cored, and sliced apples
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup of old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the mixture to the apples and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the coated apples evenly in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
