Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a large, rimmed baking sheet with butter. Microwave 4 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl on high until melted, 30 to 45 seconds. (Alternatively, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat.)
- Toss together apples and lemon juice on a prepared baking sheet; drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle with ½ cup sugar and ¼ teaspoon salt and toss until well combined and thoroughly coated. Spread mixture in an even layer.
- Cut remaining 12 tablespoons butter into ½-inch pieces. Toss together oats, flour, cinnamon, and remaining ½ cup sugar and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl until well combined. Add butter pieces; using your fingertips, rub butter into oat mixture until moist clumps form and no dry bits of flour remain. Scatter evenly over apples on the baking sheet.
- Bake until topping is golden and crisp, 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Scoop and serve with ice cream, if desired.
