For the crumble topping
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup oat four
- 6 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

- Optional: chopped nuts walnuts, pecans, slivered almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl combine, rolled oats, oat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add cubed butter to the bowl. Cut with a pastry cutter (or 2 knives, or the back of a fork) until well combined and mixture resembles coarse meal. Optional: add nuts to the crumb mixture if using and stir well.
- In a large bowl combine the sliced apples and cinnamon and stir well. Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish. Add the apples to the greased pan and spread as evenly as possible, lightly pressing down.

Notes:
Substitute any flour (regular white, whole wheat, gluten free, almond flour) for the oat flour
Try your best to cut your apples the same thickness so they cook evenly. Be sure to slice your apples thinly so they become fully tender.
It may seem like the baking dish is overflowing with the apples, but the apples will cook down.
