- 2 tbsp Lemon juice Freshly squeezed
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar

Notes
Storage: Cool completely, then cover loosely with foil and store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 300°F oven for 10-15 minutes to re-crisp the topping. Make-Ahead: Prepare the apple filling and the dry topping separately. Store both covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Assemble and bake just before serving. Substitutions: You can substitute half of the Granny Smith apples with Honeycrisp or Gala for a sweeter flavor. For a gluten-free version, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend. Serving Suggestions: Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
