Ingredients

Topping
1/2 c all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp granulated sugar
3 Tbsp butter, at room temperature
Apple slices (garnish)
Filling
2 lb apples (or other fruit such as peaches), peeled, cored, and sliced (about 4 c)
1/2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 tsp lemon zest
1 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.

2. To prepare topping: In medium bowl, combine flour and sugars. Cut butter into small pieces and add. Mix in butter by rubbing it in flour mixture lightly and quickly between fingertips until evenly combined and mixture looks crumbly.

3. To prepare filling: In large bowl, combine apples with lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar, if needed. Transfer to 1-quart glass or ceramic baking dish, spreading to cover bottom. Sprinkle topping evenly over apples. Bake on middle rack until topping is brown and apples are soft and bubbly, about 40 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with apple slices, if desired.
