Fruit filler
6 cups apples, peeled and sliced
1C granulated sugar
2T all purpose flour
1/2t ground cinnamon
1/4t ground nutmeg
1T lemon juic
Biscuit Topper
1C flour
2T granulated sugar
1 1/2t baking powder

In a large sauce pan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Stir in the 6 cups of peeled/sliced apples. Cook
while stirring over medium heat, to boiling. Cover and cook an additional 5 minutes or
until apples are almost tender. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Set aside, keeping warm.
Thoroughly stir together 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking

until it becomes coarse crumbs. Combine beaten egg and cream and add to the dry mixture.
Stir in to moisten.
Pour hot fruit filling into a suitably sized baking or casserole dish. Immediately spoon on
the biscuit topper in 8 or so mounds. Bake at 400 °F about 20 minutes.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. (See "Whipped Cream Substitute" recipe.)
