Wash, peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the sliced apples into a mixing bowl. Add granulated sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat the apples evenly.
Transfer the apples to a microwave-safe deep dish or an 8x8 inch oven-safe baking dish, spreading them evenly on the bottom.
In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, brown sugar, flour, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cold cubed butter to the oat mixture. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingers, blend the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the apples, covering them completely.
For microwave cooking: Cover the dish lightly with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap with a few air vents. Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, or until the apples are soft and bubbling, and the topping appears golden. Check at the 8-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
For oven cooking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the dish in the center of the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Remove from the microwave or oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes to set.
Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
