Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- In another bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, remaining brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Drizzle the melted butter over the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.
Assembly and Baking
- Spoon the apple mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Notes
For an extra twist, add raisins or swap in other fruits like pears or peaches. Try adding chopped nuts into the topping for added crunch. You can reduce sugar by half for a healthier option.
