Ingredients

• 1 basic pie crust recipe or store-bought crust
• 8 cups of sliced apples
• 2/3 cup of sugar
• 3 tbsp flour
• 1- 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg

Toppings

• 1 cup oatmeal
• 1 cup flour
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Pour apples into pie shell, put on topping, and bake at 350 degrees for at least 50 minutes until the juices from the apples start to bubble and thicken.
