Ingredients and Variations

Apples – Granny Smiths are best for this recipe because hold their shape well, stay firm after cooking, and their tart flavor pairs well with the sweet crumbly topping.

If using frozen apples, simply add an extra minute to the cooking time.

Streusel Topping – Use rolled oats instead of quick-cooking or instant for that extra bit of crunch. Use almond flour instead of regular flour for a gluten-free treat.

Variations – Add some dried cranberries or fresh blueberries to the apple mixture.
