"German" Apple Crisp

This recipe isn't exactly "German."  That's my friend's last name, and this is her mom's recipe!

It is just WONDERFUL.  I went to the orchard less than a week ago to buy apples and I have made this TWICE.  I will probably use up all the apples I bought making this recipe, again and again and again...

I used the full 3/4 cup of brown sugar.  And while I like nutmeg, I don't love nutmeg, so I only sprinkled it in rather than using 3/4 tsp.  My apples were huge, so the first time 4 apples was a bit too much for an 8x8 pan.  Should have known better!  The second time I made it, I only cut up 3 apples.  And I cut the slices in half the second time so I didn't have to cut them into bite-sized pieces with my spoon while eating it.

It tastes a lot like the stuffed apple recipe I used to make from Rachel Ray, except this is way easier!
