Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish and set aside.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, and lemon juice to the apples. Toss until the apples are evenly coated, then spread them evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and a pinch of salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix gently to combine. Sprinkle this crumb topping evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple mixture is bubbling.
Remove the Croustarde Aux Pommes from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
