Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to easily lift the squares out later.
In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free oats, almond flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Melt the butter and add it to the dry ingredients along with the honey. Stir well until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Take 2/3 of this oat mixture and press it firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the base.
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small cubes. In a mixing bowl, combine the apples with cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, tossing them to coat well.
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the pressed oat base in the pan.
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture on top of the apple layer, pressing lightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the crumble out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
Cut into squares and serve. These can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
