• ½ cup regular rolled oats

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl combine oats, flour, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix with fork until combined. Add the butter and work it in with your fingers, the fork, or a pastry blender until the mixture begins to form clumps.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until the topping is golden and the apples are tender. If desired, serve warm with yogurt.
