It's no big surprise that October is National Apple Month. Celebrate with an iconic dessert that screams 1980's comfort food-easy, homey, and sweet with a hint of spice. This recipe will have you longing for the simpler days of your youth.

Ingredients
For the filling:
  • 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or your favorite tart variety), peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
For the topping:
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Supplies
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the apples: In a mixing bowl, toss sliced apples with granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
  3. Transfer apples to the greased 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
  4. Make the topping: In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the softened butter with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture is crumbly.
  5. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple mixture.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
  7. Cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream—classic ’80s style!
