Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Set aside an 9x9-inch or 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the apples, brown sugar, flour, butter, milk, lemon juice, cinnamon, apple pie spice, and vanilla. Toss until evenly coated.
In a medium size mixing bowl whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the mixture until pea-size clumps form. Sprinkle the mixture over the filling.
Place in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes or until the apples are tender and topping is golden brown (note, if you're using a smaller pan, you may need to tent the top with foil and cook for the full 50 minutes). Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
Serve warm with a big scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce!
Notes
* I like to use at least two varieties of apples in any apple dessert I make. For this particular recipe I used Granny Smith and Envy apples.
