How to make the apple filling

Peel and core the apples, and cut them into thin slices. You can also dice the apples, but don't make the apple pieces too small.
Combine all the ingredients for the filling except the apples in a large bowl until you have a smooth mixture.
Add the apples and fold them into the mixture until all the pieces are completely coated.
Transfer the apple filling to your baking dish.

How to make the topping and assemble your applesauce crisp

Add the flour, sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and salt to a bowl and mix them together.
Rub the butter into the flour mixture with your hands or a fork until it is a crumbly mixture. You don't want to make the crumbs too small!
Divide the topping over the apples. I like to leave a few open spots so the apple can bubble up and caramelize.
Place your applesauce crumble in your preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and crispy. You know the apples are done when they start to bubble at the sides.
Take your crisp out of the oven and let it cool for about ten minutes before serving.
