Ingredients

  • Crust and topping
  • 3/4 cup butter, room temp
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups quick oats
  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • Apple Filling
  • 3 granny smith apples
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 TBSP brown sugar
  • GLAZE
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 TBSP milk

Preparation

Step 1

Grease a 13x9 pan and preheat the oven for 350 degrees.
Mix your crust/crumb ingredients well and reserve 1 cup. Now press the mix in the pan and bake for 15 minutes.
While this is baking, step two.

Step 2

Peel, core and small chop the apples. Place these 4 ingredients into a skillet. Do not add any liquid as the apples cook they will sweat. Adding liquid will create too much liquid which will make the crust soggy. We want thick saucy apples not runny. Cook these for about 7 minutes.

Step 3
When the crust has baked 15 minutes remove it from the oven. Pour and spread the apples over the crust. Now add 1/3 cup chopped pecans (optional) over the apples and sprinkle the remaining/set aside crumb mix.
Step 4
Bake another 15 minutes
Allow to cool for 15 minutes
Drizzle with glaze
