Filling:

• 5 Cups cortland (or other good baking) apples, about 5 apples
• ⅓ Cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease 8x8 glass baking dish.

2. Peel and slice apples about ¼ inch thick and put in a large bowl.

3. In a small bowl combine all other filling ingredients, then pour the mixture over the apples and stir until all the apples are coated.

4. In a medium sized bowl or a stand mixer combine all topping ingredients except the butter. Then add the butter and work in with a fork or use the paddle attachment on the mixer until the mixture resembles a crumble with small chunks of butter.
