Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and butter a 9-inch baking dish.
Peel, core and slice the apples into 1/2-inch wedges. Toss immediately with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Add brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla to the apples. Toss until every slice is glossy and coated.
Transfer the apples to the baking dish, mounding slightly in the centre.
In a separate bowl, whisk rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt for the topping.
Pour in the melted butter and stir with a fork until the mixture forms clumps ranging from pea- to marble-sized: don't overwork it.
Scatter the crumble evenly over the apples, leaving small gaps so steam escapes and the topping crisps.
Bake 40-45 minutes, until the topping is deep golden brown and the fruit juices bubble thickly at the edges.
40-45 minutes
If the topping browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
10 minutes
Rest 15 minutes before serving so the juices thicken and the flavours settle.

Chef's tip

Use a mix of apple varieties: a tart baker like Granny Smith with a sweeter Honeycrisp or Cortland gives complexity, texture and a filling that isn't one-note.
