Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into approximately 1/4 inch thick slices.
3.
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
4.
Add the sliced apples, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and cinnamon to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples begin to soften.
5.
Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet, cover, and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender but still hold their shape.
6.
While the apples are simmering, prepare the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and salt.
7.
Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8.
Pour the stewed apples into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
9.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
10.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
11.
Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream (optional).

"The peppery bite of watercress provides a refreshing contrast to the richness of the chicken cobbler. The quick-pickled radishes offer a tangy acidity that cuts through the creamy gravy, cleansing the palate before the main course."
