Ingredients

3 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples or other fruit
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/3 cup brown sugar, or to taste
2 1/2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits, plus butter for greasing the pan
1/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons shredded unsweetened coconut (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped nuts (optional)
Dash of salt

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 400F.
2

Toss the fruit with half the cinnamon, the lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar and spread it in a lightly buttered 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking pan.
3

Combine all the other ingredients, including the remaining cinnamon and sugar, in a food processor and pulse a few times, then process for a few seconds more, until everything is well incorporated but not uniform.
4

(To mix the ingredients by hand, soften the butter slightly, toss together the dry ingredients, and then work in the butter with your fingertips, a pastry blender, or a fork.)
5

Spread the topping over the apples and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the topping is browned and the apples are tender.
6

Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
