An Apple Cobbler

 I love a good cobbler.   The crunchy, sweet topping contrasting with the soft, sour fruit underneath...   Especially when it's warm and covered in some ice cream.   I made this one for a party, and it wound up disappearing in about 15 minutes.   I can't remember if I got a piece of it or not.
--------------------

1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups oatmeal
~1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 stick and 3 tablespoons of margarine (or butter)
a dash of nutmeg
a few dashes of cinnamon
~1 tablespoon lime juice
enough peeled and sliced apples to fill a 16x9 baking dish

peeled and cut the apples and stirred them around in the lime juice, so they wouldn't turn brown (this turned out to be unnecessary, but i'm sure it had some effect on the flavor). mixed up the dry ingredients while i melted the butter, and dumped them on top. poured the melted butter on top of it all, and tossed it in the oven at 350 for an hour.

the apples were winesap apples from my parents' orchard.... nice and sour.
