Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cup peeled, thinly sliced apples
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh lemon juice for the filling
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar for the filling
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar, packed for the filling
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon for the filling
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch for the filling
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into small pieces for the filling
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted for the pan
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar for the batter
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.75 cup whole milk room temperature if possible
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Add 4 tbsp melted butter to a 9x13-inch baking dish and warm until sizzling.
  • Toss apples with lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch; set aside to juice.
  • Whisk flour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
  • Stir in milk and vanilla until a smooth batter forms.
  • Pour batter into the hot, buttered dish without stirring it into the butter.
  • Scatter apple mixture evenly over the batter and dot with the 2 tbsp cold butter; do not stir.
  • Bake 40–45 minutes, until the topping is golden and juices bubble. Rest 10 minutes.
  • Serve warm. Add vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if you like.

Notes

Variation: Swap 1 cup of the apples for fresh berries, or add a pinch of cardamom with the cinnamon. Storage: Keep covered at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerate up to 3 days; rewarm at 325°F until heated through.
