1 Preheat oven to 375. Combine all filling ingredients in a large bowl.

3 Butter and flour a 9x12-inch baking pan and spoon in apple mixture. Spread topping over apples, patting down with your hands and making sure no fruit is uncovered. Bake until top is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream on top.
