Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings 5 apples, peeled, cored, quartered, and cut into 1/4-inch slices ½ lemon, juiced ½ cup all-purpose flour ½ cup rolled oats ½ cup nutlike cereal nuggets (such as Grape Nuts) ½ cup unsalted butter, melted ¼ cup white sugar ¼ cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ⅓ cup white sugar ⅓ cup brown sugar ¼ teaspoon cinnamon 1 tablespoon water Directions Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Toss sliced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning. Combine flour, rolled oats, cereal nuggets, 1/2 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1/4 cup brown sugar in a large bowl; set aside. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in remaining 1/3 cup white sugar, remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar, and cinnamon until sugars begin to dissolve, 3 to 4 minutes. Add apples and water; cook and stir until apples soften and coated with sauce, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour apple mixture into a 2-quart baking dish; sprinkle cereal nugget topping evenly over top. Bake in the preheated oven until top browned and bubbling around edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool 10 to 15 minutes before serving. I Made It Print 185 home cooks made it!
