Description
A cozy fall dessert with sweet apples, warm spices, and a tender topping that evokes cherished memories of family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups sliced apples
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- Mix the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until well coated. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl, whisking to incorporate everything evenly.
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, beat in the egg, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.

- Pour the batter evenly over the apples in the baking dish, spreading it out as needed.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top turns golden brown and the apples become tender and bubbly.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.
