* ¾ cup all-purpose flour * ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats * ¾ cup brown sugar, packed * 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon * ⅛ teaspoon table salt * ½ cup salted butter, sliced cold * ¼ cup pecans, toasted
**For the Filling:**
* 2 ½ lbs. apples, recommend firm granny smith and honey crisp apples, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces * Zest + Juice of 1 large lemon, a little under 1/4 cup juice * ½ cup brown sugar, packed * 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon * ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg * ¼ teaspoon ground cloves * *Optional: vanilla ice cream*
# Instructions
1. Butter an 8×8 baking dish. Preheat oven to 350F with rack on middle position. 2. In a bowl, combine all topping ingredients except butter. Stir to combine well. Using a pastry cutter, cut cold butter into the ingredients until mixture is crumbly, resembling wet sand with little clumps of butter still intact. (If your fingers are cool, it’s easier to mix with clean hands.) Cover and chill while you prepare the filling. 3. In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients and toss to incorporate. Pour into buttered baking dish. Scatter cold topping evenly over the apples. 4. Place baking dish on a large baking sheet. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes, check the topping, and cover loosely with foil if it’s already browning. Continue baking another 15-20 minutes, or just until topping is nicely browned and edges are bubbling. *Let cool to room temperature*, to allow filling to thicken. Cover leftovers and store in fridge.
