Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Peel, core, and slice the apples.

Toss the apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.

Cream butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix well.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk until combined.

Spread half the batter into a greased baking dish.

Layer the spiced apples over the batter evenly.

Spread the remaining batter over the apples gently.

In a bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the crumble topping.

Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Sprinkle the crumble topping over the batter and apples.

Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
