5 tbsp water

For the crust and crumb

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Brown-sugar replacements vary in moisture, spread, and browning, so follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold, cut into small cubes

For the apple filling

4 medium apples (about 1 ½ lb), peeled, cored, and diced into ½-inch pieces
¼ cup granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Baking behavior varies by blend: some brown faster or stay softer, while others brown less. Follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1
Stir together the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl until combined, then set aside for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens to a gel-like consistency.
2
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides.
