Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apricots, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat the apricots evenly and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, ensuring there are no large chunks of butter.
- Spread the apricot mixture evenly in the greased baking dish.
- Sprinkle the oat topping generously over the apricots, covering them completely to ensure a delightful crunch in every bite.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apricots are tender and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra indulgent treat.
