Ingredients
3 pounds streusel topping, recipe follows
48 Granny Smith apples (113-count size)
12 ounces unsalted butter
2 quarts (64 ounces) granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoons ground ginger

Directions
- Make the streusel topping and chill, core and slice the apples. In large pot, melt the butter and stir in the sugar and spices. Add all fruit and cook until soft. Stir in flour and vanilla, then cook until thick and pour into 4 (8 by 10-inch) baking dishes. Top with streusel and bake at 350 degrees F until crispy and fruit is bubbling (approx. 40 minutes).
