For the filling:
-
6 cups peeled, sliced apples (Granny Smith or your favorite baking apples)
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1 tsp lemon juice
For the topping:
-
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
-
½ cup all-purpose flour

⅔ cup packed brown sugar
-
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes

Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
