- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
- 1 cup of old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the mixture to the apples and toss to coat evenly.
