In Stoneboro, Pennsylvania, Nancy Foust spices up this comforting crumb-topped fruit dessert with cinnamon and nutmeg. "We like servings of this warm out of the oven," she writes.

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups sliced peeled tart apples
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, drained

Directions

In a bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, lemon peel, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the apples and pineapple, toss to coat. Transfer to a greased shallow 2-qt. baking dish.
In another bowl, combine oats, flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts; sprinkle over apple mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30 minutes. Cover loosely with foil; bake 15 minutes longer or until apples are tender and topping is golden.
