4 large cooking apples (or a mixture of Macintosh and Granny Smiths)

1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the topping
Generous ½ cup (3 ounces) all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons rolled oats
½ cup (4 ounces) soft brown sugar

For serving
Custard, ice cream or yogurt (optional)
1) Preheat the oven to 375° F.
2) Peel, core and slice the apples into a shallow baking or gratin dish (approximately 11 x 8 x 1½ inches). Sprinkle them with the mixed sugar and cinnamon, followed by the lemon juice and 1/3 cup water.
3) For the topping, combine the flour, oats and brown sugar, then gently rub in the butter or margarine until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle in an even layer over the apples.
