Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Toss sliced apples with 1/2 cup sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Stir in melted butter, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  5. Pour batter into prepared dish, then top with seasoned apples.
  6. Bake 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  7. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

You can substitute Granny Smith apples with Honeycrisp or Fuji for a sweeter touch. For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and milk. Prepare up to a day ahead; reheat before serving for best results. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If the top browns too quickly while baking, cover loosely with foil. For a thicker filling, toss apples with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
