Preheat oven to 350℉/177℃.
Spray an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pulse to combine.
Add butter slices, a few at a time, pulsing after each addition.
Pulse until combined and crumbly.
Place ⅔ of the mixture into the prepared pan, and press evenly across the bottom.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until just starting to brown.
Remove oat base from the oven and top with apple pie filling and the remaining crumble mixture.
Return to the oven and bake 40 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Substitutions:

Apple Butter can be used in place of apple pie filling, but you just may need to decrease the amount a little.
You could also use your favorite store-bought apple pie filling!

Expert Tips:

Try and keep the layers thin! The thicker the layers of crumble and filling, the longer it'll take to cook, and the more difficult it is for it to set.
Get the base as level as you can. You can use your hand to press it down, or just any flat kitchen tool.
This recipe keeps really well!
The glaze is optional, but totally recommended.
If you use store-bought ingredients, we can't guarantee how the recipe will turn out.
