Steps

Toss the apples with the lemon, cinnamon and cornstarch in the baking dish.
Rub the cold butter into the oats, then stir in the yogurt, maple, walnuts and salt to a thick, clumpy topping.
Drop it over the fruit in clumps with gaps — the gaps let steam out, which is what keeps a yogurt topping from going cakey.
Bake at 190°C for 40–45 minutes until the juices bubble and the top is browned. Rest 15 minutes.
