1/4 tsp nutmeg
Pinch of salt

2 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup apple cider or water (for baking dish)

4. Stir in melted butter and maple syrup until mixture is crumbly.
5. Stuff each apple with the oat mixture, pressing it in gently.
6. Place apples in a baking dish and pour cider or water into the bottom.

Notes
Use different apple varieties for flavor contrast.
Make vegan by using plant-based butter and maple syrup only.
Best served fresh but can be reheated in oven or air fryer.
Double the crumble if you want extra topping around the apples.
