Equipment

Ingredients

Filling

  • 6 apples (Honey Crisp, Cosmic Crisp, and/or Golden Delicious) peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Topping

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup milk whole milk is best

Cinnamon Sugar

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Whisk together the cinnamon sugar and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish (or similar size).
  • Add the apples, brown sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and salt to a pot. Cook on medium heat stirring until the apples are coated and start to soften, 4-5 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Transfer the apples to the prepared baking dish.
  • In a mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and milk and whisk until combined.
  • Pour the batter on top of the apples. Use a rubber spatula to spread it into an even layer so that all of the apples are covered.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the batter and then place the baking dish onto the center rack of the oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the topping comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven onto a cooling rack and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm on it's own or with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
