Directions
1.Preheat a conventional oven to 350° Fahrenheit / 180° Celsius.
2.Thinly slice the apples and place them in a buttered pan, and sprinkle them with lemon for flavor and to prevent them from turning brown. Add 1/3 cup of water and cinnamon to taste.
3.Meanwhile, to make the topping, combine the butter, sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg, and crumble the ingredients in a bowl with your fingers to create a uniform mixture.

Tips
- Peeling the apples is traditional, but not required.
- Loose oats can be sprinkled sparingly on the surface of the topping before baking for added texture.
- Any type of apple may be used, baking or sweet, or a mixture of types.
- Cooked apple dishes are a good use for substandard apples, e.g. damaged, wrinkled etc.
- Crisps can be made with most any sort of fruit. Pineapple is a good choice.
- Some fruits, especially peaches go better in a cobbler.
- Raisins can be added to the apples at the beginning, and 1/2 teaspoon of powdered ginger, or a sprinkling of nutmeg can also be put in.
- 'Mixed spice' (cinnamon, coriander, clove & other spices) is a perfect addition to apple dishes. This is more popular in Britain than the US.
