BAKED APPLES

3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

Pinch of salt

10 cups apples, peeled, sliced (McIntosh, Granny Smith, Cortland or Macoun)

4 tablespoons butter, unsalted, cut up

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease 13-by-9-by-2 baking pan.

Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add sliced apples and toss lightly to coat well. Pour into baking pan, and dot top with the butter.

Cover pan tightly with aluminum foil, then cut several small slits in top to allow steam to escape. Bake about 60 minutes, stirring gently halfway through baking time. Mixture should be thick and bubbly, and the apples should be tender.

May be refrigerated for up to 5 days, but warm before serving.
