Ingredients

  • For the apple portion:
  • 6 to 8 apples I like to mix two kinds, peeled, cored and cut into thin slices
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • For the topping:
  • cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter softened
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • Optional: ½ to 1 cups of rolled oats

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • For the apple portion:
  • Slice apples thinly and put them in a medium sized bowl.
  • Sprinkle the sugar, corn starch, cinnamon and nutmeg over apples in the bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Transfer to a 9 x 13 pan that you've sprayed with non stick spray.
  • For the topping:
  • Mix the flour, sugars, and butter in a bowl. Cut the butter into it with a pastry cutter or fork. It should look sort of like wet sand.
  • Add the cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix again.
  • Toss the topping over the apple mixture.
  • Pop the dish in the oven and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes depending on your apple type and oven. I start checking at 35 but most times it's done in about 40.

Notes

My Mom never used oats in hers that I can remember. My thought is one of us kids didn't like it so she never used it. Without it the topping tastes sort of like candy. it's spectacular.
I promise better photos when I get a chance to remake this.
