Apple Crisp

10 cups apple slices -- sliced firm cooking apple

1 teaspoon cinnamon
dash nutmeg

1 cup butter -- cold
1 1/4 cups flour
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup brown sugar

Apple filling: Mix the first 5 ingredients together and pack firmly in the baking pan(s).

Crisp topping: Mix the last 6 ingredients together using pastry knifes or pulsing in a food processor. The butter should still be in small bits; do not cream.

Evenly spread the topping over the filling and pack firmly.

Bake in 1, 10" x 15" pan or 2, 8" x 8" pans (or 3, 7"x7" pans for freeze drying)
