Apple Goodness

 

So I took some green apples from mom's apple tree awhile back for an activity I had planned for my Halloween Party. I had quite a few and thought hmm I love cooked apples so lets make a yummy dessert with these bad boys.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
• 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons butter, cold, cut into small cubes
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (not quick-cooking)
• 4-5 apples or however many you like, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Cut butter into flour, using a pastry blender or two knives, until mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Add oats, and use your hands to toss and squeeze mixture until large, moist clumps form. Transfer to freezer to chill while you prepare apples.
2. In another large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Transfer to a shallow 2-quart baking dish, and sprinkle with topping mixture. Place baking dish on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until golden and bubbling, 55 to 65 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

 You can even serve with whoop cream or ice cream to make it even more delicious.
