Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp flour, 1 tsp cinnamon, and nutmeg. Pour over the apples and toss to coat. Spread evenly in the prepared dish.
  3. In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Add the cold cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Sprinkle the topping mixture evenly over the apple filling.
  5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  6. Let the apple crisp cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This helps the filling set. Serve warm.
