Apple and walnut crumble

The topping of this apple and walnut crumble is made with oats, which makes it a bit more granola-like, when it's baked. You can use gluten-free oats, if needed, and dairy-free spread for a vegan or milk-free version. Serve it with custard, crème fraîche or plant-based vanilla yogurt/cream.
