Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position a rack in the middle.
  2. Peel, core, and slice 5–6 apples into ¼-inch wedges, then toss with lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch until evenly coated.
  3. In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut cold butter into cubes and toss until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Spread the apple filling in a greased baking dish, then sprinkle the oat crumble topping over it.
  5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the topping is crisp and golden brown and the apple juices bubble.
  6. Let the crumble rest 10 minutes to thicken juices, then scoop into bowls.
Serving Suggestions
  1. Top with ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  2. Sprinkle chopped pecans on top before baking for extra crunch.
