For the Apple Filling:
- 6-7 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or your favorite variety), peeled and sliced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Prepare the Apples: In a large bowl, mix the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and lemon juice. Spread evenly in the baking dish.
- Make the Crisp Topping: In another bowl, mix flour, oats, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in melted butter and stir until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
