* 5 cups of apples
* ¾ cup brown sugar
* ¾ cup oats
* ½ cup flour

* ⅓ cup water
* ¼ tsp nutmeg

# Preheat a conventional oven to 350°F / 180°C.
# Thinly slice the apples and place them in a buttered pan, and sprinkle them with lemon for flavor and to prevent them from turning brown.

# Meanwhile, to make the topping, combine the butter, sugar, oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg, and crumble the ingredients in a bowl with your fingers to create a uniform mixture.

# Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
== Tips ==
* Peeling the apples is traditional, but not required.
* Loose oats can be sprinkled sparingly on the surface of the topping before baking for added texture.
* Any type of apple may be used, baking or sweet, or a mixture of types.
* Cooked apple dishes are a good use for substandard apples, e.g. damaged, wrinkled etc.
* Crisps can be made with most any sort of fruit. Pineapple is a good choice.
* Some fruits, especially peaches go better in a cobbler.
* Raisins can be added to the apples at the beginning, and ½ teaspoon of powdered ginger, or a sprinkling of nutmeg can also be put in.
* 'Mixed spice' (cinnamon, coriander, clove and other spices) is a perfect addition to apple dishes. This is more popular in Britain than the US.
