Ingredients
- Base:
- 5 apples (Granny Smith works best)
- 1/3 cup sugar (raw or white)
- 2 tbls flour
- 1/2 tsp ground cassia (or real cinnamon if you have it)
- Crust:
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup rolled oats or quick oats
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/3 cup butter -softened
Preparation
Step 1
The process:
1. Peel, then slice the apples.
2. Preheat the oven to 350F (or 175C).
3. For the base, mix the apple slices, sugar, flour, and cassia (or cinnamon) in a bowl. Stir thoroughly to make sure the cassia is spread evenly over the apple slices, and then transfer the base to a 9" x 9" greased pan.
4. For the crust, mix the brown sugar, oats, flour, and butter. Then roll up your sleeves and grab the dough, and start breaking small chunks off and dropping them evenly over the apples.
5. Bake at 350F for 45 minutes, and then remove and let cool for 30 minutes before serving (if you can wait that long).
6. If reheating the next day, bake for 5 minutes at 350F (200C), and then broil it for 2-3 minutes to get the crunch back in the crust.
