Ingredients:
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (a mix of sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp works well)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
For the Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and diced
Instructions:
