We often make a triple batch of topping and freezing it.

• 2 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup butter or margarine, softened
• 2 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger

• Heat oven to 375ºF. Grease bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan with shortening.
• Spread apples in pan. In medium bowl, stir remaining ingredients until well mixed; sprinkle over apples.
• Bake about 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a fork.
• Serve warm with ice cream.

• Note: I changed the spices around a little bit – too much nutmeg in the original.
