2. In an 8-inch square or round baking dish, place 4 tablespoons of softened butter.
3. Peel and chop 4 medium apples (about 4 cups) into bite-sized pieces. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to prevent browning.
4. Arrange apple pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
5. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, ¾ cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
6. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
7. Stir in ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
8. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
10. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. The filling will be very hot!
11. Serve warm with vanilla soymilk or ice cream. Enjoy!
