4-5 medium tart cooking apples, cored, peeled and thinly sliced
6 Tbsp. firmly packed brown sugar
6 Tbsp. granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 375\u00b0. Spread the sliced apples over the bottom of a greased 8 x 8 x 2 inch baking dish. In a mixing bowl, combine the brown and granulated sugars, flour and oats (may add 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg), then stir in the melted butter. Spread mixture over the apples.
