Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the brown sugar, almonds, oats, oil, and syrup until it’s crumbly and well mixed.

Pile the sliced apples neatly into a pie plate or casserole. Spoon the crumb mixture uniformly on top of the apples.

Bake in for about 25-30 minutes until bubbling and the apples are super soft. Set aside to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, bring the water to boil in a medium stockpot. Add the salt and oats. Return to boil and then lower to simmer for about 10 minutes, just until you lose the chewiness of the oat. Add in the cinnamon, brown sugar and almond milk, and then let simmer 3-5 more minutes to blend.

Put a hefty scoop of oatmeal in a bowl and spoon some apple pie topping on top. Serve and enjoy.
