Preparation Method Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
- To make the crust, combine the flour and sugar in a medium bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the crumbs into the prepared baking dish and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. Combine the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Stir in the EAGLE BRAND Sweetened Condensed Milk.
- Remove the crust from the oven and pour the filling over it.
- To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, sugar, softened butter, and rolled oats in a small bowl. Use your fingers to mix until the ingredients are well combined. Sprinkle the streusel topping over the filling.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the streusel topping is golden brown.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to use cold butter when making the crust. This will help the crust stay flaky.
- Do not overbake the squares. The filling should be bubbling and the streusel topping should be golden brown.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent the filling from spilling out.
