    1      cup           dry unseasoned bread crumbs
      1/4  cup           white sugar
      1/3  cup           melted butter
    5      cups          peeled and sliced apples (5 to 6 medium-
                         sized apples)
      1/2  cup           brown sugar

 Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly butter a 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Combine
 the bread crumbs with the white sugar and butter. Pat half of the mixture in

 nutmeg, lemon juice and zest, and walnuts. Spread over the crumbs. Top with
 the remaining crumbs. Cover and bake for 40 minutes. Then remove the cover,
