For the topping; in a bowl stir together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon and pinch salt; add in butter and blend with fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add in the toasted walnuts; set aside while preparing the filling.
In a large bowl toss the apple slices with the lemon juice; add in all remaining ingredients except the vanilla ice cream, toss well to combine and transfer to the prepared pie plate or baking dish.
Sprinkle the prepared topping evenly over the apple mixture.
Bake for about 30-40 minutes or until the topping is browned and the apples are fork-tender.
Let the crisp stand for 15 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
