🧂 Ingredients
- 4 large Apples(peeled, cored, and sliced (e.g., Gala, Honeycrisp, or a mix))
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar(packed)
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 0.25 tsp Nutmeg(ground)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter(cold, cut into cubes)
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8x8 inch baking dish.
- 2
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice. Set aside.
- 3
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for the crumble topping. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 4
In another small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Pour this mixture over the sliced apples and toss to combine.

Pour the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the oat crumble topping evenly over the apples.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling. If the topping starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the dish with foil.

Let the cake cool in the dish for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
