- •118 ml (1⁄2 cup) chopped almonds
- •118 ml (1⁄2 cup) light brown sugar
- •1.3 ml (1⁄4 teaspoon) salt

- •1.3 ml (1⁄4 teaspoon) cinnamon
- •Pinch of salt

Preparation
For the topping: In a small bowl, stir together the flour, almonds, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add butter to flour mixture and stir until small clumps form. Heat mixture in pan on low heat until golden brown (6 to 9 minutes). Spread topping on a large plate to cool.
For the filling: Core and slice apples. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, apples, and sugar mixture. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until apples are almost softened (8-10 minutes). Remove lid and cook until apples are cooked through and mixture has thickened slightly (about 5 minutes more).
Pour mixture into a serving dish or individual cups or bowls. Sprinkle topping on apples. If desired, serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
