"Apple recipes remind me of my childhood growing up in Turin, Ga. in Coweta County. We would get off the school bus and we'd be so hungry we'd pick and eat Yates apples - the old-timey little hard apples." - Geraldine Johnson, Buford

Ingredients

4 cups apples, peeled and sliced

¾ cup self-rising flour

¾ cup packed brown sugar

½ cup whole grain oatmeal

⅓ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

1 ½ tbs. cinnamon

1/2 cup margarine, softened

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread apple slices in an ungreased 9-inch pan. Mix remaining ingredients with a fork. Sprinkle over apples. Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes until topping is golden brown and apples are tender.
