Recipe - Apple Oatmeal Crumble

6 cup Peeled; cored, and thinly
cut or sliced up apples (about 7
apples)
2 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
One half cup White or brown sugar; firmly
packed
One half cup Rolled oldfashioned oats
One fourth cup Allpurpose flour
One half teaspoon Ground cinnamon
6 tablespoon Butter; cut into pieces
One half cup Chopped nuts; lightly
toasted

Preheat the oven to 350F. Butter a shallow 8cup ovenproof pan.

In a large bowl toss the apple slices with the lemon juice and 2
tablespoons of the sugar. Spread the slices in the buttered pan. In the
same bowl mix the remaining sugar, oats, flour, and cinnamon. With your
fingertips rub the butter into the dry ingredients until it sticks together
in crumbles, then mix in the nuts. Scatter the topping over the apple
slices. Put the pan in the oven and bake until the topping is brown and
crisp and the apples tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Serve with vanilla ice cream
or whipped cream.

NOTES : The oatmeal in this version of an old favorite gives crunch; add
nuts or not, as you like. Use peaches, pears, plums, or another fruit.
