INGREDIENTS:

¼ pound butter or margarine

1 cup quick cooking, rolled oats

1 cup flour

1 tablespoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

4 cups peeled, cored and thinly sliced apples – using 4 large, firm and slightly tart apples

½ cup melted butter or margarine

1 tsp cinnamon mixed with 4 tsp sugar

INSTRUCTIONS:

Mix [first 6 ingredients] together until crumbly. Divide mixture in half. Pat one half into bottom of greased 9 x 9 x 2” pan. Over this, arrange apples. Drizzle apple slices with half of melted butter or margarine and then dust in half of cinnamon and sugar mixture.

Pat the other half of the crumbly oatmeal mixture over top of apple mixture. Drizzle with other half of melted butter or margarine. Dust lightly, again, with other half of cinnamon and sugar mix.

Bake at 325°F for 20 minutes. Increase temperature to 375°F for another 20 minutes or until crust is nicely browned and filling begins to bubble. Serve warm, with ice cream on top, for 6 to 8 sensible people.
