Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 4 cups Granny Smith apples (peeled and cut into ¼” cubes)
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup apple juice (or water)
- 3/4 cup pecans (finely chopped and divided)

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and coat a 9” x 13” baking dish with cooking spray.
- Toss the diced apples with lemon juice and set aside.
- Pulse the oats in a food processor until coarse. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon, then mix in the oat flour.
- Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, salt, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the dry ingredients, apple juice, diced apples, and half of the pecans to the butter mixture and fold until well combined. Transfer to the baking dish.
- Top with the remaining pecans and bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown. Allow to cool.
- Mix the powdered sugar with milk to create a drizzle. Once the bake has cooled, drizzle the sweet glaze on top.
- Slice and enjoy!
