Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling
  • 6 medium apples use a mix of sweet and tart varieties for depth of flavor

  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour helps to thicken apple juices
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon complements the apples beautifully
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
For the Topping
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour creates a base for the crumbly topping
  • ½ cup rolled oats provide a hearty texture
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar enhances the crumble
  • ¼ teaspoon salt balances sweetness
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold and cut into cubes for a crispy topping

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.

  3. Toss the sliced apples in a large bowl with lemon juice, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Pour the apple mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  6. Spread the oat topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the apples are tender.
  8. Let it cool for 10–15 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
