Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 by 9-inch square dish well with non-stick cooking spray.

For the topping: In a medium mixing bowl stir together brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon nutmeg and salt. Spread evenly into greased baking dish.

Toss apples with lemon juice (I just do this on the cutting board I cut them on). Align apples in rows over brown sugar layer. Set aside.
