Place the oats, flour, brown sugar, spices and salt in a medium bowl and toss to combine.
Add the butter to the oat mixture and work in with your fingers or spoon until thicker crumbles form.
Spray a medium sized skillet with cooking spray and heat on medium heat.
Add the oat topping to the skillet and begin to toast, (moving the mixture around so it doesn't burn) until it becomes fragrant and slightly browned about 8-10 minutes.
Remove the topping mixture from the pan into a small bowl so it doesn't continue to cook in the pan.
Wipe the skillet clean.
Spray again with cooking spray.
Reheat the pan under medium heat and add the apples, butter, sugar and spices.
Cook the apples until soft and silky but still intact about 8-10 minutes depending on the type of apple you use (*note you will need to continuously move the apples around to prevent burning so do not leave the stove).
Remove the pan from heat and to let it cool just slightly.
