Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square or similar baking dish.

Step 2:

In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice.

Step 3:

In a separate bowl, mix together granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons flour. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss to coat evenly.

Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared baking dish spreading evenly.

Step 5:

For the crumb topping combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the cold diced butter. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 6:

Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the apples.

Step 7:

Bake for 35 40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly and tender.

Step 8:

Let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
