- 8 cup sliced Granny Smith apples from about 6 apples, peeled
- 2 tbsp lemon juice from 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp orange zest from 1 orange
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed

Instructions
Cooking
- Prep the dish. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Season the apples. Toss the sliced apples with the lemon juice, orange zest, brown sugar, salt, and apple pie spice, then spread them in the dish.
- Make the crumble. Mix the soft butter, brown sugar, flour, salt, and spice until crumbly, then stir in the quick oats.
- Top. Scatter the crumble evenly over the apples.
- Bake. Bake for 45 minutes, until the apples are tender and the topping is golden, then cool for 10 minutes.
Notes
Substitutions: Use half Granny Smith and half sweeter apples for a milder flavor.
Tips: Do not pack the topping so it crisps. Slice the apples evenly.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
