Recipe Instructions:
INGREDIENTS
Crumb Topping
½ cup all-purpose flour, plus 2 Tbsp
½ cup old fashioned oats (not instant)
¼ cup packed brown sugar
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons light butter
1 teaspoon water
Apple Filling
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch ground cloves
3 lbs apples
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375°F Spray a shallow 1-½ quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
To make the topping, combine the ½ cup flour, the oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Use a fork or your hands to mix the oats and flour mixture with butter together. Add the water and firmly press mixture to form clumps. If the topping still looks dry add up to 2 tablespoons of water.
To make the filling, mix the granulated sugar, the 2 tablespoons flour, the nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl. Add the apples and vanilla; mix well. Transfer to the baking dish. Sprinkle the topping over the filling. Bake until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden, 55 - 60 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
