By burganblonde

Ingredients

• TOPPING:
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1/4 cup light-brown sugar
• 1/8 tsp. coarse salt
• 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
• FILLING:
• 2 lbs. sweet apples (about 5), such as Braeburn, McIntosh, or Gala, peeled, cored, and cut
• into 1/2-inch slices
• 1/4 cup light-brown sugar
• 1/4 cup dried cherries
• 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

TOPPING:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse 1/2 cup oats in a food processor until coarsely ground. Transfer to a bowl and add remaining 1/2 cup oats, brown sugar, salt, and butter. Stir until combined.

FILLING:

Toss together filling ingredients in a bowl and transfer to a 9-inch-square baking dish. Sprinkle with topping. Cover with parchment-lined foil and bake 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until apples are tender and topping is golden brown, about 30 minutes more. Let cool slightly before serving.
