Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, slice the fresh apricots and combine them with lemon zest, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Toss to coat the apricots.
  3. In another bowl, combine old-fashioned oats, white whole wheat flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Cut in cold unsalted butter until resembling coarse crumbs. Stir in honey or maple syrup until just combined.
  4. Pour the apricot mixture into the greased baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the oat topping generously over the apricot layer.
  5. Bake for about 32 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling starts to bubble.
  6. Cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
