Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the apples to prevent browning and toss lightly to coat.
Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger to the apples and stir to mix well. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar, almond flour, and salt.
Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture is crumbly.
Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with a little coconut oil or non-stick spray.
Spread the spiced apple mixture evenly in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the oat topping evenly over the apples, ensuring it's completely covered.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes or until the topping is crisp and golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is or with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream if desired.
