This is very similar to the apple squares my mother used to make; they are far and away my favourite comfort food. I think that she originally got the recipe from a newspaper or magazine, if I recall correctly from heplping peel and slice apples as a child. Some changes that Ive made - add a couple of pears, and slice the fruit with a mandolin so it lays flat and makes it easier to pat the top down.

Very nice flavor! Very much like an apple crisp. Since there was no pan size listed, I made an executive decision and went with a 13x9 pan which I sprayed lightly with Pam. I used about 5 cups of sliced McIntosh apples (and could have used another cup or so) but other than that, I made as posted. Thank you for posting!
