      Step 1: Prepare the Oven<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      Preheat your oven to 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F). Lightly grease a medium baking dish with butter or oil.<\/p>\n

      Step 2: Prepare the Apples<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      In a large bowl:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Add sliced apples<\/li>\n
      • Pour in lemon juice (to prevent browning)<\/li>\n
      • Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt<\/li>\n
      • Mix well until apples are evenly coated<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Let the mixture sit for 5\u201310 minutes to release natural juices.<\/p>\n

        Step 3: Make the Crumb Mixture<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        In another bowl:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Combine breadcrumbs, brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon<\/li>\n
        • Pour melted butter over the mixture<\/li>\n
        • Stir until everything is moist and crumbly<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Step 4: Assemble the Layers<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          In the prepared baking dish:<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Add a layer of apples<\/li>\n
          2. Add a layer of crumb mixture<\/li>\n
          3. Repeat layers (apples \u2192 crumbs)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Make sure the top layer is crumbs<\/strong> for a crispy finish.<\/p>\n

            Step 5: Bake the Dessert<\/strong><\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Cover the dish with foil<\/li>\n
            • Bake for 30 minutes<\/li>\n
            • Remove foil and bake another 20\u201325 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              The top should be golden brown and slightly crispy<\/strong>, and the apples soft and bubbling.<\/p>\n

              \u00a0FINAL TOUCH<\/strong><\/h2>\n

              Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving so it sets nicely.<\/p>\n
