Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place your sliced apples in a 2-2.5 quart baking dish or 9x13 baking dish.
In a mixing bowl combine the white sugar, 1 tablespoon of flour, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Whisk lightly to thoroughly combine, then sprinkle the mixture over the apples. Pour water over the whole thing.
Now, combine the quick oats, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and melted butter. Mix to combine. Sprinkle the crumbly oatmeal mixture over the apples.
Bake for 45 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Firm semi-tart to tart apples are best, such as Granny Smith, Jonathon apples, Braeburn apples, Pink lady apples, etc.
Everyone's oven is different. If your streusel topping starts getting too dark but your apples aren't fully cooked, simply cover your baking dish with a sheet of aluminum foil until done.
