  3. For the batter, whisk the remaining 100 g of melted butter with the remaining 150 g of brown sugar until glossy, then whisk in the egg and the vanilla.
  4. In another bowl, stir together the remaining 130 g of flour, the remaining 50 g of oats, the remaining 4 g of cinnamon, the nutmeg, the baking powder and the salt.
  5. Fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined, then fold in the diced apple.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and scatter the crumble over the top.
  7. Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until the crumble is golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan on a rack for at least 1 hour, then lift out by the parchment and cut into 12 bars.
