Instructions:
- Prepare the Apples: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel, core, and slice 4 large apples. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the apple mixture evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

- Bake: Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm.
