Recipe Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature.
- Grease a shallow 30cm x 20cm tin to prepare it for the slice.

- Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the melted butter.
- Using a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until thoroughly combined, forming a crumbly dough.
- Firmly press two-thirds of the mixture into the base of the greased tin, ensuring an even layer.
- Open the can of pie apples and spread them evenly over the oat mixture in the tin, using a spatula to flatten them gently.
- Sprinkle the apples with an extra dash of cinnamon for an added burst of flavor.
- Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture over the top of the apples, distributing it evenly, and press down lightly to compact the ingredients.
- Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until the slice turns a beautiful golden brown color.
- Once baked, remove the slice from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for a few minutes.
- Once cooled slightly, cut the slice into fingers or squares using a sharp knife.
