Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish with coconut oil.
Peel and core the apples, then slice them into thin wedges. Place the apple slices in a large bowl.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the apple slices to prevent browning. Add 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Transfer the apple mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, the remaining 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Cut the cold coconut oil into small cubes, then add it to the flour and oat mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the apples in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
Allow the apple crumble to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it warm on its own, or with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream.
