Apple Brown Lennie is a classic American dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. It is a sweet and hearty dessert that is perfect for colder months, when apples are in season. The combination of tender, juicy apples and crunchy, sugary topping makes it a comfort food favorite. It is often served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. While it is not the healthiest dessert option, it can be enjoyed as an occasional treat in moderation. Make it for your next family gathering or potluck and watch it disappear!

Instructions

1.	Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2.	In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with cinnamon until well coated.
3.	In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour and brown sugar. Add in the softened butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix everything together until crumbly.
4.	Pour the crumb mixture over the apples and stir until the apples are well coated. Transfer to a greased 9x13 baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
5.	In another bowl, whisk together the hot water, brown sugar, and lemon juice until the sugar is dissolved. Drizzle this mixture over the top of the apples.
6.	Bake for 45-50 minutes until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
