Add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of flour to the apples and mix well.

Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan and pour the apple mixture into it.

In the same bowl, combine 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup flour, 2/3 cup rolled oats, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon for the topping.

Add 1/2 cup of softened or melted butter to the topping mixture and mix until crumbly.

Spoon the topping mixture over the apples in the baking pan, covering them evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving, ideally with ice cream.
