Ingredients
For the Apple Filling:
- 4 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prepare the Apples: In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, ¼ cup of the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spread the apple mixture evenly into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Make the Crumble: In another bowl, combine the flour and remaining ½ cup sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped nuts if using. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apples.

- Serve: Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
