1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

2. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until evenly coated, then spread the mixture in the baking dish.

3. In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt.

4. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender, fingers, or forks until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

5. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.

6. Bake for 35–45 minutes until the top is golden and the apples are soft.

7. Let rest 10–15 minutes before serving.

Try adding a pinch of cloves or allspice to enhance flavor.

Use cold butter for a crispier topping.

Cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days.

Reheat in the oven or microwave for best texture.
