Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold cubed butter. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Prepare the apples: Place the cored and halved apples, cut-side up, in a baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the nutmeg.

Spoon the sugar and spice mixture into the cored centers of each apple half. Dot the tops of the apples with the small pieces of butter.

Pour the water into the bottom of the baking dish. This will help create steam and keep the apples moist during baking.

Generously sprinkle the prepared crumble topping over the apples, ensuring they are well covered.

Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the crumble topping is golden brown and crisp. The exact time will depend on the type and size of your apples.

Let the baked apples cool slightly before serving. They are delicious served warm on their own, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
