Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 inch deep dish pie plate with butter and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss the apples with the sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, cardamom and a pinch of salt. Transfer to the prepared pie plate.
Whisk the flour, salt and baking powder together in a medium bowl. Set aside. Combine the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla together in a large bowl. Whisk until well combined. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula.
Spread the batter evenly over the top of the apples and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
Bake for about 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the apples are bubbling around the edges. Cool before serving.
- I like Granny Smith apples in this recipe, but any apple you have on hand will be just fine.
- Be sure to cool the dessert before slicing. If you cut into it while it is too warm, the filling won't have a chance to set up. It will still be delicious but you won't get clean slices.
- Serve with this easy vanilla sauce recipe! It is a traditional and super delicious compliment to this cozy dessert.
