Ingredients

  • For the Filling:

  • 6 large firm apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon apple pie spice*
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • For the Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk or whole milk
  • 1/4 cup coarse sugar

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish; set aside.

Step 2

Combine apple slices and lemon juice in large bowl; toss until apples are coated with juice. Add apples to large saucepan and add remaining filling ingredients. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until mixture comes together and creates a syrup that coats the apples (about 5-7 minutes). Pour apple mixture into prepared dish.

Step 3

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl; whisk together until incorporated. Add butter, egg and milk; stir well. Drop spoonfuls of batter on top of apple mixture and spread it slightly using the back of a spoon. Generously sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake 35-40 minutes or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream.
