8 apples (or peaches), peeled and sliced thin

2 tbsp. lemon juice

This will make two round pie dishes or one 9x13 pan. First use the stick of butter to grease your pan. In a bowl peel and slice your apples and add lemon juice. Pour your sugars, cinnamon, and nutmeg over the apples and toss. Pour into your baking dish. In a separate bowl combine your butter, flour, oatmeal (or nuts) and mix with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of your apples and that's it. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hr. until apples are cooked and the crust is golden brown.
