Ingredients

Apple filling

6 Apples Peeled and Diced, Use a variety of apples for best flavor
2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
2 teaspoon Lemon juice
1 teaspoon Cinnamon powder
½ teaspoon Nutmeg powder

Topping

¾ cup All-purpose flour
¾ cup Old fashioned oats Not quick cook oats
1 cup Brown sugar I prefer light brown sugar but dark brown sugar works well too.
½ teaspoon Cinnamon powder
½ teaspoon Nutmeg powder
½ cup Butter Unsalted, Cut into small cubes, Cold
¼ cup Caramel sauce For drizzling

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, add apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg. Mix to combine everything.
Spread this apple mixture in a greased baking dish (8x8 or 7x11).
In another mixing bowl, add flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon powder, nutmeg, butter cubes. Use a pastry cutter or a large fork to cut the butter into the flour/oat mixture until you have a crumbly mixture. Do not add milk or water to thin it out.
Spread this topping over the apples.
Bake 350 degrees F for 40-50 minutes or until top is golden brown and apple juices and sugar is bubbling.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
