Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. In a large bowl, add all the ingredients for the crust (oats, flour, baking powder, melted butter/coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon) and stir until combined. Add 1 2/3 cup of the crust mixture to the baking dish and set aside, placing the remainder in the fridge. In a sauté pan, add butter over low-medium heat and the apples. Sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar over the apples until coated and cook for several minutes until the apples become soft. Turn off the heat and add the cornstarch and vanilla, then stir. Add the apple filling to the baking dish. Take the crumble mixture from the fridge and crumble on top of the apple filling. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. Cut into 9 squares and top with additional cinnamon.
