1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons tapioca flour (such as Bob’s Red Mill)
-
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
-

Description
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Stir together all-purpose flour, oat flour, brown sugar, and salt in a medium bowl using a fork. Add butter, and toss until butter is coated with flour mixture. Mash butter using a fork until mixture is evenly moistened and resembles breadcrumbs, about 2 minutes. Press together small portions of the streusel mixture in your hands to form small and large clumps. Chill streusel in freezer while preparing apple filling.
-
Stir together apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, tapioca flour, lemon juice, black pepper, and ginger in a large bowl until sugars dissolve and apples release some juices, 2 to 3 minutes. Add apple butter, and toss to coat. Pile mixture into a 9-inch round baking dish (or an ovenproof glass, ceramic, or metal baking dish of your choice, as long as it has about the same 2-quart capacity). Dot fruit mixture evenly with butter pieces. Top evenly with chilled streusel.
-
Bake in preheated oven until the top is dry to the touch and deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling on the sides, about 1 hour and 15 minutes, tenting with aluminum foil if the streusel starts to get too dark. Serve immediately with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
