Ingredients
1 sheet of refrigerated pie dough
3 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2/3 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the pie dough onto the prepared baking sheet and crimp the edges slightly to create a rustic crust.
In a bowl, toss the apple slices with the granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of flour until well coated.
Arrange the apple slices in an even layer over the pastry crust, leaving a small border for the edges.
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, brown sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons of flour, and cinnamon.
Cut the cold butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apple layer.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove from the oven and drizzle with caramel sauce before slicing.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven to restore the crunch of the topping. You can serve this warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for extra indulgence.
