In a separate bowl, mix the cut butter with brown sugar, flour, rolled oats, salt and cinnamon powder.  Use fingertips (coolest part of hand) to rub butter in until mixture resembles course crumbs. Sprinkle over the apples.

 

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celcius for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.  The apples should be tender when pierced with a knife or fork.  Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.  Serve warm with ice-cream.
