1. Preheat and Prepare the Apples
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel and slice the apples thinly. Toss them in a bowl with lemon juice to prevent browning and add tartness.

In a mixing bowl, combine oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, erythritol or stevia, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Add melted butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture becomes crumbly.
3. Assemble and Bake
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples and press gently to adhere.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
