Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

In a medium size bowl combine the crumb topping ingredients with a fork or pastry blender until it resembles small crumbs. Refrigerate while you prepare the apple filling.

Step 3

(I use a Johnny Apple Peeler to peel and slice the apples all at once. It makes the process a lot faster!)

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine melted butter and flour until well blended. Add lemon juice, milk and vanilla and stir well. Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Pour butter mixture over apples and toss to coat. Pour apple mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish and spread into an even layer. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the apples.

Step 6

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and top is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Serve with Vanilla Ice Cream and homemade caramel sauce, if desired.
