• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Directions For the Apples:

• Peel the apples and slice thinly. Place them into a mixing bowl.
• Add 1 teaspoon each of the cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ginger powder as well as 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Add 1 cup of warm apple cider to the mixing bowl.
• Mix gently to ensure all the apples are thoroughly coated. I typically use my hands, but you could use a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon. Set aside.

For the Streusel:

• In separate mixing bowl, include 1 cup each of sugar and flour.
• Add 1/4 cup oats and 3/4 teaspoon salt and Stir.
• Cube the 8 tablespoons of cold, unsalted butter butter, cutting it into smaller easier workable pieces. Work the butter into the flour mixture using your hands, or a fork, until coarse crumbs form. Do not over work.

Prepare to Bake:

• Add oil or butter a 8'' square or 9'' x 13'' rectangle baking dish.
• Spread the apples evenly in the baking dish. Cover apples with streusel.
• Cook for about 1 hour. Remember to cover with foil if its getting too brown too early.
• It is finished when you start to see nice, almost caramel-like bubbles moving around the edges and the topping has a nice lightly golden brown color to it.
