For dessert, consider whipping up a batch of brownies. They're easy to make, kids love them and they freeze very well.

1. Beat together the melted butter and sugar. Stir in the egg.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and cinnamon.
3. Mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Fold in the chopped apple.
4. Pour the batter into a greased 8" (20 cm) square cake pan.
5. For the topping, rub together the butter, brown sugar, flour and oatmeal (if using). Sprinkle evenly over the batter.
6. Bake in a preheated 180° C (350° F) oven for about 40 minutes or until lightly browned.
7. Cool and cut into squares.
