This is the recipe I've used for years. I no longer have a paper copy. The small amt of salt in the topping is essential. May add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp fresh ground nutmeg to topping mixture. TIP: MAKE TOPPING AHEAD OF TIME AND FREEZE TIL USE, doubling the amt. is ok, as it keeps up to 4 mos. If frozen. Crumble top over the apples in large (3/4") and small (1/4") and in-between crumbles
ALSO, may use pears instead, or half firm-ripe pears, half apples
