Ingredients

4 apples, such as Gala or Fuji, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 cup dried cherries or dried cranberries (5 ounces)

1/4 cup sugar

Coarse salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

4 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, grated

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In an 8-inch square baking pan, toss apples, lemon juice, and cherries.

Whisk together sugar, a pinch of salt, the cinnamon, and flour. Add half the sugar mixture to apples; stir to combine.

Stir together oats and remaining sugar mixture. Add butter, and stir. Evenly pat oat-butter mixture over apples. Bake until oats are golden, apples are tender, and the juices are bubbling, 40 to 50 minutes.
