Description

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a 13x9-inch pan with aluminum foil, leaving some excess to overhang. Spray foil lightly with nonstick spray.
• Make the crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Stir with a whisk. Using a pastry cutter or fork, cut in the butter until mixture resembles damp sand. Set aside 1 1/4 cups of the dough the topping. Press the remaining dough firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
• Make the filling: While the crust is baking, add apples and lemon juice to a large mixing bowl. Stir to coat. Add the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir to combine. Pour the filling over the warm crust and spread into an even layer.
• Make the topping: Add the brown sugar, oats, and pecans to the reserved flour mixture. Stir to combine. Sprinkle the topping over the filling. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan by foil overhang. Cut into squares.
