Ingredients

  • 6 apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • c. lemon juice
  • 1 ½ c. sugar divided
  • ¾ c. flour
  • ½ c. butter
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon divided
  • ¼ tsp. nutmeg
  • tsp. salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Prepare apples and place slices in a large bowl. Pour lemon juice over apple slices. Add ½ c. sugar to apples. Sprinkle cinnamon over slices. Mix together and let the fruit rest on the counter for about an hour.



  • Measure remaining sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg into a second bowl. Cut butter into small chunks and add to the bowl of dry ingredients.



  • Using a pastry blender, work the butter into the dry ingredients until a coarse mixture is achieved. The flour and sugar will be incorporated into the butter. The mixture will be crumbly.

  • Pour the apples and accumulated juices into a casserole dish.  Top with the butter/sugar/flour mixture.



  • Bake for about 45 minutes, until fruit is soft and bubbly, and crumbs are golden brown.



  • Serve warm, with vanilla ice cream if desired.
