Ingredients

Apple Filling:

  • about 3 1/2 – 4 lb. apples
  • freshly squeezed juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon corn starch
  • 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)

For the Topping:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter (cold and cut into cubes)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 3 1/2 Tablespoons cinnamon sugar (mixture of 1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 3 Tablespoons sugar)

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease 9 x 13 inch baking dish with melted butter ( or cooking spray), then set aside.

To Make the Apple Filling:

  1.  Peel and core apples, then cut into about 1/4 inch slices and transfer to a large bowl. Pour lemon juice over the apples and toss well.
  2. Add the mixture of cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and corn starch to the apples, then stir until evenly coated,  then set aside.

For the Topping:

  1. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar to a food processor and pulse just to combine.
  2. Next, add cold cubed butter to the processor and pulse a few times until the butter cut in really small pieces.
  3. While pulsing, add milk. It won’t come together perfectly, but remove the blade from a processor and using a spatula mix it finally.

Assembling:

  1. Layer about half  of the apples in the 9×13 baking dish, scatter 1/4 cup of butter cut into small pieces and top with the remaining apples.
  2. Spread topping over the apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar.
  3. Bake at 350F for about 50-60 minutes or until golden brown on top.
  4. Serve warm with ice-cream and caramel sauce if desired.
