Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 4 cups apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

- Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the top of the apples and caramel.
