Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Mix the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or fork.

Top the apple mixture with the crumb topping and bake until golden brown and bubbly around the edges, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes, then enjoy.
