Notes and Tips:
- Choosing Apples: For the best flavor, use a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. The tart apples hold up well during baking, while the sweet apples add extra flavor.
- Add Texture: For added crunch, mix in some chopped nuts (like walnuts or pecans) with the oat topping.
- Spice It Up: Feel free to add additional spices such as nutmeg or ground ginger for a more complex flavor profile.
- Make It Ahead: You can prepare the topping and slice the apples ahead of time. Store them separately (the apples with a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning) and assemble right before baking.
- Gluten-Free Option: Swap the flour for a gluten-free flour blend and make sure your oats are certified gluten-free for an easy gluten-free dessert.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or even a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
