Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
In a large bowl, combine the apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Add the optional raisins if using, and mix well to ensure the apples are coated evenly.
Transfer the apple mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
In another bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, chopped nuts, and salt. Mix well.
Melt the butter (or coconut oil). Add the melted butter and vanilla stevia to the oat mixture. Stir until the mixture forms crumbly clusters.
Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples in the baking dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm, optionally with a side of sugar-free ice cream or whipped cream.
