3tablespoonsApple juice (preferred) or orange juice
¼cupGranulated sugar
2tablespoonsAll-purpose flour
¾teaspoonGround cinnamon
1teaspoonPure vanilla extract
Vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch deep dish pie plate or a 9x9-inch square baking dish and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the melted butter and mix until well combined. Place the bowl in the refrigerator.
In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples, apple juice, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the apples are evenly coated.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer. Take the topping mixture out of the refrigerator and crumble it evenly over the apple filling.
Cover the baking dish loosely with lightly sprayed foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for another 25-30 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. Allow it to cool slightly before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Consider varying the apple mix and serving options.
For a nutty variation, add chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping mixture.
For an alternative to ice cream, serve with whipped cream.
