Notes
Substitutions: Use any firm baking apples, and swap the oats for chopped nuts for a grain free topping.
Tips: Keep the butter cold and the topping loose so it bakes into crunchy clusters.
Storage: Cover and refrigerate for up to three days or freeze baked portions for up to two months.
Nutrition does not include the optional walnuts or pecans.
