Ingredients

3 pounds apples cored and chopped
1 lemon juiced
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup unsalted butter

Instructions

Wash the apples well, then cut into quarters and each quarter into a half. Cut out the seeds (I do this after quartering). Chop each into three chunks.
Place all the apples into a 13×9 glass baking dish. Squeeze the lemon atop the apples.
3 pounds apples, 1 lemon
Make the streusel topping by adding the flour, sugars, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg into a bowl. Mix the dry ingredients well. Use a pastry blender to mix the butter in until you have little pea-sized lumps.
1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup white sugar, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 cup unsalted butter
Sprinkle the topping on the apples, then bang the dish on the counter to ensure you have the streusel all yummy and down into the apples. Place it into the oven at 375 degrees for about an hour or so, until the apples are bubbling through the topping and it’s nicely browned.
It tastes best when still slightly warm, so I tend to keep it in the oven (with the oven turned off) until I’m ready to serve it.

Notes

I use a variety of apples, which I find makes it taste even better. I always use about half Granny Smith but then vary the other apples from Fuji to MacIntosh to whatever crisp (not red) apple I happen to have in the pantry. I also sometimes add dried cherries or raisins for a special little treat!
