Method
 

Prep and fill
  1. Preheat the oven to 375F and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
  2. Toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cornstarch, and lemon juice, then spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
Make the oat crumble
  1. In a bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, packed brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  2. Cut in the cold cubed butter with your fingertips until the mixture forms large chunks and clumps.
Bake
  1. Scatter the crumble evenly over the apples, covering every surface.
  2. Bake for 40-45 minutes at 375F until the oat topping is deeply golden and the apple filling is bubbling through the corners.
Finish and serve
  1. Cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Pro tip: slice apples evenly so they bake at the same pace and keep the crumble chunky for better crunch. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; reheat at 350F until warmed through. Freezing is best without ice cream—freeze in a sealed container up to 2 months and thaw overnight. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat butter in the crumble and serve with plain Greek yogurt instead of ice cream or whipped cream.
