Ingredients
4 large crisp apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash, core, and slice the apples into half-inch thick wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the apple wedges with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until evenly coated.
Fold in the rolled oats and chopped nuts until incorporated.
Spread the apple mixture into an 8×8 inch baking dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the apples are fork-tender and the topping is golden brown.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
For a nut-free version, swap the nuts for sunflower seeds or extra oats.
Enhance the flavor by adding a dash of nutmeg or cloves, or drizzle with maple syrup before baking.
Serve warm with Greek yogurt or vanilla ice cream.
