Ingredients

Banana Filling

4 tablespoons salted butter sliced into pats
3 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
2 tablespoons apple juice or apple cider
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
5 medium-sized ripe but firm bananas

Crumble Topping

1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar packed
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup cold salted butter sliced into pats
½ cup chopped pecans you can substitute chopped walnuts or chopped almonds

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Generously spray an 8x8 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Add the butter to a 2-3 quart saucepan over medium heat to melt.
Once the butter has melted, whisk in the light brown sugar, apple juice, flour, vanilla, and ground cinnamon. Continue to whisk until the mixture begins to thicken. Remove from the heat.
Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with the sliced bananas.
Pour the thickened filling evenly over the bananas.
Add the oats, flour, granulated and light brown sugars, and cinnamon to a medium-sized mixing bowl (2-3 quart). Stir to combine.
Add the sliced ½ cup cold butter pats. You can either use your hands or a pastry blender to work the mixture into coarse crumbs.
Evenly sprinkle the topping over the banana filling. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the topping. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown. Serve warm and topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel sundae topping.
