01
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Prepare an ovenproof dish, 22 cm across and at least 5 cm deep.
02
Cut the apples into 1.5 cm cubes. Mix with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and 2 g cinnamon. Spread in the dish.
03
In another bowl, mix the flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and remaining 1 g cinnamon.
04
Rub in the cold butter with your fingertips until crumbly, leaving some larger clumps. Scatter over the apples without pressing down.
05
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. The topping should be golden and the fruit bubbling around the edges. Check with a thin knife that the apples are tender.
06
Rest for 25 minutes so the juices can thicken. Serve warm with a spoon. Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat portions in a low oven.

A little baking wisdom

Cut the apples into even pieces so they cook at the same rate. A mix of sweet and tart apples gives a more balanced flavor.

Times are approximate and vary with your oven. Use oven mitts and check doneness before serving.
