1-First Step: Prep the Apples In a bowl, mix the chopped apples with the granulated sugar, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir it all up until the apples are evenly coated, then pop that mixture into your baking dish. This step brings out the apples’ natural flavors and keeps them from getting too watery.

2-Second Step: Make the Topping In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, oats, flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, salt, and cold diced butter. Use a pastry cutter, forks, or your hands to blend it until it looks like pea-sized Memo crumbs don’t overdo it, as that keeps the topping crunchy.

3-Third Step: Assemble and Bake Spread the topping evenly over the apples and give it a gentle pat to help it stick. Slide it into the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden and the filling is bubbly. Let it rest for a few minutes after baking, then serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat Yum!
