Two apple desserts with new variations

Here are two apple desserts, both easy to put together. One has a cup of rolled oats to add a nutty flavor. The other is much like the old fashioned dishes called ''slumps'' and frummeries'', that taste good and have the wonderful aroma of cinnamon and sugar when they're served warm with cream or ice cream.
