Cube your apples and combine in a pot with the sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently until the apples are soft but not mushy and the mixture is bubbling. Prepare your crumble by mixing your oats, brown sugar, and flour together. Cube your butter and work it into the flour until your crumb mixture comes together and there is no sandy texture left. Grease a 9x13 baking dish and pat down half of your crumble into the bottom. Top with the apple filling and sprinkle the remaining crumble on top. Bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes until the crumble is golden brown and the filling is bubbling around the edges. Allow to fully cook before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
