Apple Crumble

This is for Shari, who wanted to know what to do with Granny Smith Apples. This is Joseph's favorite "Apple Pie", as he calls it.  You can also mix McIntosh apples in... but I prefer just using all Granny Smith!

Filling

3 pounds Granny Smith Apples
1/4 cup rum
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons flour

Topping

1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
8 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Peel, core and slice apples. Place them in a bowl with the rest of the filling ingredients and stir until combined. Place apple mixture into a lightly greased 9 X 9 pan.  Mix together topping ingredients with the exception of the butter. Add butter and mix until crumbly.  Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until golden brown.

This is a 10 on my yum scale!
