Special Precautions and Tips
- If you don't have a microwave, you can bake this in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes, or until the apple is tender and the topping is golden brown.
- Be careful not to overcook the apple, as it will become mushy.
- If the topping is too dry, add a little more milk.
- If the topping is too wet, add a little more oats.
