Notes

I left my apple unpeeled for this crunchy apple dessert. If you prefer to peel it, then go for it.
This is the perfect sized dessert for only family, one serving. It's baked in an 8 x 8 inch baking dish (like this one), and almost never has leftovers.
This apple dessert is without brown sugar oats and cinnamon which makes it unique! If you are a cinnamon fanatic, go ahead and add some to the batter.
I used chopped pecans. Use your favorite chopped nut. Walnuts would be perfect too.
