Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, try using a mix of tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. If you don't have oats, you can substitute with crushed nuts for added crunch. To enhance the spices, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the topping mixture. Be careful not to overmix the topping to maintain a crumbly texture.
