  2. Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the Snap Dragon and Honey Crisp apples into thin slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Sweeten the apples: Toss the sliced apples with ½ cup sugar, ½ tbsp cinnamon, and ¼ tsp ground nutmeg until evenly coated. Spread the apple mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Make the crisp topping: In a separate bowl, combine quick oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, remaining ½ tbsp cinnamon, and ¼ tsp nutmeg. Mix well.
  5. Cut in the butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut ½ cup unsalted butter into the dry mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.
