________
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Grease a suitable size baking dish. See below *.
Peel, core and course chop the apples. Toss the apples in a bowl with lemon juice (to prevent darkening & to increase tartness). Toss brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt with the apples. If desired, stir in the optional fruit + water. Press the apple mixture evenly into the bottom of the baking dish(es).
Add oats, flour, sugar and salt to the now-empty bowl. Dice the cold butter into ~1/4 inch pieces. Cut the butter into the oat-flour mixture until it looks like crumbs. If desired, mix in the optional nuts. Sprinkle the oat-flour mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish(es).
Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes, or until the apples are
tender and the toppings are lightly browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.
