Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large apples, peeled and sliced (Granny Smith or Fuji preferred)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional for added texture)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine sliced apples, cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
- In a food processor, blend cold butter, powdered sugar, salt, and flour until coarse crumbs form. If using oats, add them. Press this dough evenly into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish to form the crust.
- Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
- Allow to cool before slicing to ensure clean cuts and optimal flavor.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced flavor.
- Ensure the butter is cold to achieve a flaky crust.
- Adjust cinnamon and sugar levels to taste.
- For added crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts over the apple layer before baking.
