Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Baking
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Serving
- Let cool slightly before serving, and enjoy with a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt if desired.
