Ingredients

  • 4 large apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

Prepare the Apple Mixture

In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with 1/2 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and lemon juice until well coated.

Prepare the Crust Topping

In a separate bowl, combine the flour and cold butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Assemble the Dish

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Spread the apple mixture evenly in a baking dish.

Sprinkle the flour-butter mixture evenly over the apples.

Add Topping

In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Sprinkle this mixture over the top of the apple mixture.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Serve

Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

Enjoy your meal!
