- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
Fruit and Base
Sweeteners and Sugars:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
Measurements and Spices:
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 heaping tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Pinch of kosher salt
Additional Components:
- 1 stick (8 tablespoons / 113 grams) salted butter, melted
- Salted butter, enough to grease the baking dish
- Ice cream or frozen custard, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Ignite the oven to a toasty 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and lovingly coat a 9×13-inch (23×33 centimeters) glass baking vessel with a generous layer of butter.
- Artfully cascade apple slices across the buttered surface, ensuring an even, elegant arrangement.
- In a separate mixing bowl, harmonize granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, aromatic ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Delicately dust this fragrant mixture over the apple landscape, then tenderly drench with 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) of water.
- Craft the crisp topping by blending 1 cup (125 grams) all-purpose flour, hearty oats, rich brown sugar, leavening agents, and a whisper of salt. Introduce melted butter in a gradual stream, stirring until the mixture transforms into a cohesive, crumbly texture.
- Gently blanket the apple foundation with the oat mixture, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven, allowing it to transform for approximately 43 minutes. Watch for a golden-brown, crisp topping that signals culinary perfection.
