Number Of Ingredients 11

Topping:
5 T. butter
1/2 cup flour (whole wheat for a nice nutty flavor)
1/2 brown sugar
1/8 t. baking powder
dash spices -- cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamon as preferred
1/2 cup oatmeal -- traditional or quick cook, not instant
This makes enough for 8x8 pan. Double as needed for larger pans
5 cups apple slices
dash flour and sugar, as needed based on apples
dash cinnamon

Steps:

Cut butter into small squares. Add flour, brown sugar, baking powder and spices. Cut with pastry blender until well incorporated but not a dough. Stir in the oatmeal. Set aside. Peel and core apples. Slice into uniformly thin slices. Toss with flour, white sugar and spices -- just enough to draw out juices while baking. Based on the apples, a squeeze of lemon juice might be nice. Place apples into a buttered 8x8 baking dish. Sprinkle on topping, bake at 350 for 30 - 45 minutes. Test with sharp knife - remove when apples are soft throughout. If topping starts to brown before apples are baked through, then cover with foil for remainder of baking time.
