combine flour, oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut the butter into the mix. Sprinkle the mixture over the apples.

Tips
To reduce calories, fat, and sugar:
Use less sugar: Consider reducing the amount of granulated and brown sugar in both the filling and topping.
Opt for a butter substitute: Use a plant-based butter alternative or reduce the amount of butter used.
Increase oats: Enhance the fiber content by increasing the proportion of oats in the topping.
Add nuts: Incorporate chopped nuts like almonds or walnuts for added protein and healthy fats.
