Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Pour any remaining syrup mixture over the apples.

- Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon oat crumble over the prepared apples in the baking dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crumble topping is golden brown and crisp.
