Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples with all-purpose flour, lemon juice, vanilla extract, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are coated.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Pour the seasoned apple mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the oat topping over the apples without packing it down.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and juices are bubbling. Cover loosely with foil if it browns too quickly.
  5. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
