Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Serving Size: 4-6 servings

Ingredients:

5 to 6 medium-size apples, peeled, cored and cut into ¼-inch slices. (About 7.5 cups)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1.5 teaspoon cinnamon
1⅓ cups all-purpose flour

Place a layer of apple slices in the bottom of the pan and dust with sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Continue layering apples and dusting with cinnamon/sugar until it is all used up. Toss the apple mixture until evenly coated in cinnamon sugar. The apples should be just about to the top of the pan (they will cook down).

Work the butter into the mixture with your fingertips until evenly distributed. Take one full handful of the topping and toss it into the sugared apple mixture. Spread the rest of the topping evenly over the apples.
