About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Mixing tart and sweet apples gives you both structure and sauce; the softer ones melt while the firm ones hold.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Heat oven to 375°F. Toss apples with sugar, lemon, cornstarch, 1 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg; spread in a buttered 9x13 dish.

  2. 02

    Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, salt and remaining cinnamon. Rub in butter with your fingers until clumpy; stir in pecans.

  3. 03

    Scatter topping over apples.

  4. 04

    Bake 40–45 minutes until the juices bubble thickly at the edges and the top is deep golden.

  5. 05

    Cool 15 minutes before serving so the juices thicken.
