Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
Filling
  • 8 cups apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
  • 8 ounces unsalted butter cut into cubes
  • 1.5 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • 9x13-inch pan
  • parchment paper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick baking spray.
  2. In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. On low speed, add flour and mix until combined; the dough will be crumbly.
  3. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 16 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool, keeping oven temperature at 350°F.
  4. In a large bowl, combine apples and lemon juice, tossing to coat. Add cinnamon, flour, sugar, and salt. Toss until apples are evenly coated and arrange evenly on top of the crust.
  5. In a large bowl, combine oats, both sugars, cinnamon, and flour. Add cubed butter and cut into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  6. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and apples are bubbling.
  8. Remove from oven and place the pan on a cooling rack. Cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
