1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2. Place apples in ungreased 9-inch square (2-quart) baking dish.
3. Combine brown sugar, oats, flour and cinnamon in medium bowl; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle sugar mixture over apples.
4. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream, if desired.
