Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups pre-made oat granola (e.g., Bear Naked Maple Pecan)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon plus 1/4 cup sugar
5 firm apples, such as Fuji or Gala (about 2 1/2 pounds), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350F.
Melt the butter in a medium oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Toss the granola with 1 tablespoon flour and 1 tablespoon sugar until coated and fragrant. Transfer to a bowl; reserve the skillet.
Add apples to the skillet with pumpkin pie spice, lemon juice, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until apples soften and release juices, 5-7 minutes. Stir in remaining 1 tablespoon flour. Scatter granola topping evenly over apples; bake until bubbly and tender, 35-40 minutes. Serve warm for maximum bliss!
