Ingredients

  • 2 pounds apples peeled, cored and cut into ½ inch thick slices
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 cup flour
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled + more for greasing the pie plate
  • Turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
