Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 7 medium size apples (see Recipe Note)
- 2 tbsp (25 grams) sugar
- 1 tsp (3 grams) ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 cup (200 grams) brown sugar
- ¾ cup (75 grams) oats (we prefer large cut oats)
- ¾ cup (110 grams) all purpose flour
- 1 tsp (3 grams) ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp (5 grams) unsalted butter, softened (for greasing the pie plate)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2
Prepare your pie plate by spreading 1 tsp of butter across the bottom and up the sides. Set aside.
- 3
Wash, peel and core your apples. Cut them into chunks about ½ inch wide and transfer them to a bowl. You don't have to worry about having your apple pieces uniform in shape or size.
- 4
Toss your apples with the sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Transfer your apple mixture to your prepared pie plate.
- 5
Prepare the topping
- 6
In a medium size bowl combine the brown sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon and salt. Whisk to combine.
- 7
Break the softened butter up in pieces and add it to the bowl.
- 8
Using a pastry cutter or your hands, mix in the butter until it is thoroughly combined with the dry ingredients in the bowl. Your final texture should look like pea-sized clumps of dry ingredients.
- 9
Using your hands transfer the topping to your pie plate and spread it evenly so that all of your apples are covered. Press down with your hand to make a compact topping. If you like, take some extra butter and dot the top of your crust with it.
