Ingredients

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup butter, melted

3 cups apples (peeled, cored, chopped)

½ cup white sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.

In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, flour, and melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.

Place half of the crumb mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread the apples evenly over this layer.

Sprinkle apples with white sugar and cinnamon.

Top with the remaining crumble mixture.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, until apples are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
