1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus 2 tbsp |
1/2 cup old fashioned oats (not instant) |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 pinch salt |
3 tablespoons light stick butter, diced |
1 teaspoon water |
1/4 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1 pinch ground cloves |
3 lbs golden delicious apples or 3 lbs jonathan apples, peeled and thinly sliced |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F Spray a shallow 1-1/2 quart baking dish with nonstick spray.
2. To make the topping, combine the 1/2 cup flour, the oats, brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. With a pastry blender or 2 knives used scissor-fashion, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the water and firmly press mixture to form clumps.
3. 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.
