Apple Crisp

      Cut up 9 large Cortland apples, and macerate in a large bowl with:

      1/2 cup sugar
      1 tbs. cinnamon
      2 tbs. tapioca
      pinch of salt
      juice of 1 lemon

      Put 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter on the stove to melt.

      Mix up in Cuisinart:

      3/4 cup flour
      3/4 cup oats
      1 cup brown sugar
      1 tbs. cinnamon
      1/2 tsp. allspice
      1/2 tsp. cloves
      pinch of salt
      1 cup pecans or unsalted almonds

      Pulse until coarse, not too homogeneous, but no big nut chunks.

      Pour out into a bowl. Mix in:
      melted butter

      Spread the apple mixture in a buttered 13 X 9 pan.

      Sprinkle topping over apples and bake at 375 for 30-45 minutes.
