Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, blueberries, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Toss until the fruit is evenly coated.
Transfer the fruit mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out in an even layer.
In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and chopped nuts (if using).
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry topping mixture. Use a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the fruit in the baking dish, ensuring the fruit is completely covered.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbling.
Remove the gratin from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
