Fruit Recipes
Yield: Serves 12
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 6 to 8 apples, peeled and cored
- Topping:
- 1 cup butter
- 3 cups oats
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the topping ingredients in a bowl until the butter is thoroughly incorporated and the mixture is the consistency of fine meal. Set aside. In another bowl, toss the sugar, flour, and cinnamon with the chopped apples. Place the apple mixture in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan and cover with the topping. Bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
Variation: Substitute blueberries for half the apples.

Speaking strictly as a 3rd generation chef, this recipe is good but lacks real taste. Certainly the cook time should be increased to fully cook the apples and ad more "crispiness" to the crust. I suggest a tablespoon of sweet sherry be added to the apples. – Reviewed by Dima Jamison
Dima is absolutly right...additional fruits and cooking time make this a fun breakfast for everyone. Play with it and this will become a holiday tradition for those cool winter mornings where time is a plenty and hunger builds with the delightful aroma. – Reviewed by Robert Vincent
This is an excellent old fashioned recipe. I would, however, use a little less sugar. Everyone I shared it with truly enjoyed it. Pati – Reviewed by Patrica Brooks
We use honey instead of brown sugar to sweeten the apples. I also like adding a cup of finely chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping. The topping freezes nicely, so you can make it in large batches, and store in 1 or 1.5-cup lots for future use. – Anonymous Review
I did enjoy this recipe. I found that it was a bit greasy. I would cut down on the 1 cup of butter though. – Anonymous Review
My son and I made this together, as well as a big mess, but it tasted great! – Anonymous Review
