Ingredients
Scale
- 10 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced – provides sweetness and structure
- 1 cup white sugar – sweetens the apple filling
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour – thickens the fruit juices
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon – adds warmth and spice
- 1/2 cup water – helps create a syrupy filling
- 1 cup quick oats – gives the topping a chewy, crisp texture
- 1 cup packed brown sugar – adds caramel flavor and depth
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour – binds the topping ingredients
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder – lightens the topping
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda – aids crispness
- 1/2 cup melted butter – provides richness and helps browning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.

- In a small bowl, combine white sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples. Drizzle with water.
- In another bowl, mix oats, brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir in melted butter until crumbly.
