8 large apples
1 and 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 and 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
3/4 cup salted butter, softened
vanilla ice cream, pretty much not optional
caramel sauce
1. Peel and core the apples. Use a sharp knife or mandolin to slice the apples into very thin, uniform pieces.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 inch pan.
3. Add the sliced apples to the pan.
4. In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Use a fork or pastry cutter to stir in the softened butter.
5. Sprinkle the streusel over the apples.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 375. It is done when a knife inserted in the center slides in easily (the apples should be fork-tender).
7. Let stand for a few minutes before serving hot or room temperature.
8. Serve with ice cream and this amazing caramel sauce.
