Sherry's Apple Crisp

My friend Sherry used to make this apple crisp at the Grant House Café.  She never measured, so I've measured and tried to get it as close to hers as I could.  This is easy and tastes great served with vanilla ice cream. 

Filling:

8 to 10 large apples peeled, cored, and sliced

1/3 cup instant tapioca

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup sugar, or less if the apples are sweet

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix all ingredients together and pour into a greased 9" by 13" baking dish.

Topping:

1 cup butter chilled and cut into ½ inch cubes

1 ½ cups flour

1 ½ cups brown sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon nutmeg

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and cut butter into mixture with a pastry cutter or a fork.  Mix until crumbly.  Sprinkle mixture over apples. 

Bake at 350º for 1 to 1 ½ hours, until bubbly and browned. 

Serves 8 to 10.
