Tips:

• If you don’t have oats, you can use flour- replace 2 tbsp oats with 1 tbsp flour.

• You can use any kind of apple for this recipe. I used Macintosh, which is what I had.

• You can make this in any kind of pan- bundt cake, cupcakes mix etc. Just make sure to adjust cooking time. Bundt cake time will be different than the cupcake pan.
