2/3 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
8 lg. tart apples, peeled & thinly sliced (12 c.)
2 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. lemon juice
2 tbsp. butter

CRUMB TOPPING:

1/2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add apples. Sprinkle on water and lemon juice. Toss until evenly coated. Spoon into a 9 inch deep dish pie pan (no pastry). Dot with butter.

Cream sugar and butter well. Add flour and stir. Dab on apples. Bake 50-60 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream. Even my husband can make this. One of our favorites.
