Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a large mixing bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Peel and slice the bananas, then add them to the mixing bowl with the apples. Gently toss to combine.
In a separate small bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the oat mixture. Stir well until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
Transfer the apple and banana mixture to the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit mixture. Then, scatter the sliced almonds over the top for added crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
