Ingredients

For the Topping:

  • 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 3/4 cup butter 1 1/2 standard 8-tablespoon cubes of butter (see recipe note #1)

For the Filling

  • butter for greasing baking dish
  • 6 large Golden Delicious apples
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (see recipe note #2)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F (177 °C).
  • Butter a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
  • To Make Topping: Add all topping ingredients to a medium bowl (flour through walnuts) and stir until well combined. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat and pour over flour mixture; stir well until no dry flour remains.
  • For Filling: Peel apples (if desired). With a paring knife, cut into quarters and remove core. Cut quarters in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Transfer apple slices to a medium bowl and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon; stir to coat evenly. Transfer to prepared baking dish, spreading into an even layer.
  • Tip bowl of topping over apples and use a fork to distribute evenly, breaking up any large chunks.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is crisp and golden brown. Serve warm.

Notes

  1. If using unsalted butter, add another 1/4 teaspoon fine salt or 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
  2. For a more subtle spice, reduce the cinnamon in the apples to 2 teaspoons.
  3. Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  4. This recipe makes ample crisp topping - if you like a thinner layer, reduce the topping ingredients by 1/3.
