INGREDIENTS
- 12tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for buttering the pan
- 1½cups all-purpose flour
- 1½cup packed dark brown sugar, divided
- 1cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1cup pecans, chopped
- 1teaspoon kosher salt
- 3½pounds mixed apples, such as Granny Smith, Macintosh, and Pink Lady, peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch wedges (about 8 medium apples)
- 1tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2tablespoons fresh lemon juice
PREPARATION
- Step 1
Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, 1 cup/200 grams of the brown sugar, oats, pecans and salt. Add the butter, and stir with a fork until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
- Step 2
Add the apples to the buttered baking dish and toss with the remaining ½ cup/100 grams brown sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Spread the apples into an even layer. Press the crumb mixture together to create clumps of different sizes, and sprinkle on top of the apples. Transfer to the oven, and bake until the apples are tender and the crumb topping is crisp and deep golden brown, about 50 to 60 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
