Ingredients:
* 3 lbs. Granny Smith apples * ⅔ cup all-purpose flour * 1 cup brown sugar, packed * 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, diced * 2 Tbsp. vegetable shortening, all-natural preferred, diced * Juice from 1 lemon * 1 tsp. cinnamon * 2 tsp. granulated sugar
Directions:
* Preheat oven to 375 degrees. * Butter a large casserole dish with 1 Tbsp. of the unsalted butter. Peel and slice apples into 1/2" slices -- not too thin, or they won't hold their shape when baked. * Place in large bowl and toss the cut apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and about 1.5 Tbsp. of the flour. Taste for proper proportion of sugar and cinnamon (they should be balanced -- not too sweet, not too spicy). * Transfer apple mixture to casserole dish and push down to pack them in. * In the large bowl used for apples, mix rest of flour, brown sugar, butter, and shortening with your fingers to form a loose crumble. Cover apples with topping. * Bake for 40-45 minutes, until bubbling at the sides. Let cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
