Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • Unsalted butter (1/2 cup, cubed and chilled)
  • Brown sugar (1/3 cup, packed)
  • Rolled oats (1 cup)
  • Salt (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
  • Lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • All-purpose flour (2 tablespoons)
  • Granulated sugar (1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Transfer the fruit mixture to a 9x9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
